in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants;
and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
007:021 The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul,
and the Egyptians couldn't drink water from the river;
and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
007:022 The magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments;
and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he didn't listen to them;
as Yahweh had spoken.
007:023 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay
even this to heart.
007:024 All the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink;
for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
007:025 Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.
008:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him,
"This is what Yahweh says, 'Let my people go, that they
may serve me.
008:002 If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your
borders with frogs:
008:003 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come
into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed,
and into the house of your servants, and on your people,
and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
008:004 and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people,
and on all your servants.'"
008:005 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch forth your hand with
your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools,
and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"
008:006 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt;
and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
008:007 The magicians did in like manner with their enchantments,
and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
008:008 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Entreat Yahweh,
that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people;
and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh."
008:009 Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting
the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants,
and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you
and your houses, and remain in the river only."
008:010 He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word,
that you may know that there is none like Yahweh our God.
008:011 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses,
and from your servants, and from your people. They shall
remain in the river only."
008:012 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh
concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
008:013 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died
out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
008:014 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
