and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left.
There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field,
through all the land of Egypt.
010:016 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said,
"I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.
010:017 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh
your God, that he may also take away from me this death."
010:018 He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.
010:019 Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up
the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}.
There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
010:020 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he didn't let
the children of Israel go.
010:021 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky,
that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness
which may be felt."
010:022 Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was
a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
010:023 They didn't see one another, neither did anyone rise from his

When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
011:002 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every

jewels of silver, and jewels of gold."
011:003 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians.
Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt,
