King James Version
1 ¶ Now these are the names of the children of Israel,
which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with
Jacob.
2
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4
Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were
seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
generation.
7
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled
with them.
8 ¶ Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew
not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people,
Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply,
and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto
our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11 Therefore they did set over
them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh
treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied
and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve
with rigour:
14 And they made their lives
bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick,
and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made
them serve, was with rigour.
15 ¶ And the king of Egypt spake
to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name
of the other Puah:
16 And he said, When
ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the
stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then
she shall live.
17
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of
Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18 And the king of Egypt called
for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done
this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
19
And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew
women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere
the midwives come in unto them.
20 Therefore God dealt well with
the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that
he made them houses.
22
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into
the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
1 ¶ And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took
to wife a daughter of Levi.
2
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw
him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch,
and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done
to him.
5 ¶ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself
at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's
side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and,
behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and
call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse
the child for thee?
8
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went
and called the child's mother.
9
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take
this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the
woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she
brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his
name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 ¶ And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was
grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he
spied an Egyptian smiting an
Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that
there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of
the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who
made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest
thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And
Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay
Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of
Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 ¶ Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and
they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel
their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so
soon to day?
19
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of
the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20
And he said unto his daughters, And
where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him,
that he may eat bread.
21
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave
Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22
And she bare him a son, and he
called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 ¶ And it came to pass in process
of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by
reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason
of the bondage.
24
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the
children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
1 ¶ Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to
the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked,
and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great
sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he
turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and
said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5
And he said, Draw not nigh
hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6
Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses
hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7 ¶ And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction
of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their
taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I am come down to deliver
them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land
unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the
place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel
is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 ¶ And Moses said unto God, Who
am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children
of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will
be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When
thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this
mountain.
13
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the
children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent
me unto you; and they shall say to me, What
is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath
sent me unto you.
15
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus
shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto
all generations.
16 ¶ Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and
say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and
of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that
which is done to you in Egypt:
17 And I have said, I will bring
you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
18
And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come,
thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto
him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now
let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we
may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
19
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go,
no, not by a mighty hand.
20
And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all
my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after
that he will let you go.
21
And I will give this people favour
in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye
shall not go empty:
22
But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour,
and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of
silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon
your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
1 ¶ And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will
not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not
appeared unto thee.
2
And the LORD said unto him, What
is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
3 And he said, Cast it on the
ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled
from before it.
4
And the LORD said unto Moses, Put
forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and
caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
5
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
hath appeared unto thee.
6
And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand
into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out,
behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
7
And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he
put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of
his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
8
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee,
neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the
voice of the latter sign.
9
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also
these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou
shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the
water which thou takest out of the river shall become
blood upon the dry land.
10 ¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not
eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but
I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11
And the LORD said unto him, Who
hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the
blind? have not I the LORD?
12
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach
thee what thou shalt say.
13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I
pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
14
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and
he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well.
And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth
thee, he will be glad in his heart.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him,
and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth,
and will teach you what ye shall do.
16
And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he
shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him
instead of God.
17
And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou
shalt do signs.
18 ¶ And Moses went and returned to
Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which
are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go
in peace.
19
And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into
Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
20 And Moses took his wife and his
sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses
took the rod of God in his hand.
21
And the LORD said unto Moses, When
thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all
those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden
his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 And thou shalt say unto
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even
my firstborn:
23
And I say unto thee, Let my son
go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay
thy son, even thy firstborn.
24 ¶ And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the
LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin
of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely
a bloody husband art thou to me.
26
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou
art, because of the circumcision.
27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met
him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
28
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had
sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the
elders of the children of Israel:
30
And Aaron spake all the words
which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the
people.
31
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD
had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their
affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
1 ¶ And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the
wilderness.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel
go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
3 ¶ And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with
us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice
unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
4 And the king of Egypt said unto
them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people
from their works? get you unto your burdens.
5
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are
many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the
people, and their officers, saying,
7
Ye shall no more give the people
straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for
themselves.
8
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make
heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for
they be idle; therefore they cry, saying,
Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
10 ¶ And the taskmasters of the people went out, and
their officers, and they spake to the people, saying,
Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
11 Go ye, get you straw where ye
can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
12
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the
land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
13
And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when
there was straw.
14
And the officers of the children of Israel, which
Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick
both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
15 ¶ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and
cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore
dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16
There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to
us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten;
but the fault is in thine own people.
17
But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore
ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for
there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
19
And the officers of the children of Israel did see that
they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your
bricks of your daily task.
20
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as
they came forth from Pharaoh:
21
And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and
judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred
in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in
their hand to slay us.
22
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord,
wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is
it that thou hast sent me?
23
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath
done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
1 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now
shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong
hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of
his land.
2
And God spake unto Moses, and
said unto him, I am the LORD:
3
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob,
by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
4 And I have also established my
covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their
pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of
Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD,
and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the
Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with
a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
7
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to
you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you
out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you in unto
the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and
to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am
the LORD.
9
And Moses spake so unto the
children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit,
and for cruel bondage.
10 ¶ And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
11
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the
children of Israel go out of his land.
12
And Moses spake before the LORD,
saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then
shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
13
And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt.
14 ¶ These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The
sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu,
Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
15
And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish
woman: these are the families of Simeon.
16
And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to
their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life
of Levi were an hundred thirty and
seven years.
17
The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their
families.
18
And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and
Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an
hundred thirty and three years.
19
And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the
families of Levi according to their generations.
20
And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife;
and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
21
And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel;
Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23
And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister
of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
24
And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph:
these are the families of the Korhites.
25 And Eleazar Aaron's son took
him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these
are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
26
These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said,
Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their
armies.
27 These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children
of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
28
And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29
That the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of
Egypt all that I say unto thee.
30
And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of
uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a
god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy
brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the
children of Israel out of his land.
3
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs
and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken
unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and
my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I
stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from
among them.
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the
LORD commanded them, so did they.
7
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and
three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 ¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle
for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take
thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so
as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and
before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the
wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like
manner with their enchantments.
12
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became
serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not
unto them; as the LORD had said.
14 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is
hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the
river's brink against he come; and the rod which was
turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16
And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews
hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that
they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17
Thus saith the LORD, In this thou
shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with
the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they
shall be turned to blood.
18
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river
shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink
of the water of the river.
19
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and
stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their
streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of
water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all
the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he
lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the
river, 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.
21
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river
stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there
was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did
so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he
hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
23
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he
set his heart to this also.
24
And all the Egyptians digged
round about the river for water to drink; for they could
not drink of the water of the river.
25
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had
smitten the river.
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith
the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them
go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which
shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy
bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine
ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
4
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy
people, and upon all thy servants.
5
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine
hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and
cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt;
and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and
brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat
the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I
will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the
LORD.
9
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I
intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the
frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10
And he said, To morrow. And he
said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
11
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses,
and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river
only.
12
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And the LORD did according to
the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages,
and out of the fields.
14
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
stank.
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened
his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
16 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy
rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the
land of Egypt.
17
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his
rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast;
all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did so with
their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so
there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This
is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not
unto them; as the LORD had said.
20 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the
morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to
the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21
Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will
send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and
into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of
flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
22
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which
my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest
know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23
And I will put a division between my people and thy
people: to morrow shall this sign
be.
24
And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of
flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all
the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
25
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the
land.
26
And Moses said, It is not meet so
to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our
God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes,
and will they not stone us?
27
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
28
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice
to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away:
intreat for me.
29
And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will
intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his
servants, and from his people, to morrow:
but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to
sacrifice to the LORD.
30
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
31
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he
removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
people; there remained not one.
32
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
would he let the people go.
1 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go
in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my
people go, that they may serve me.
2
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them
still,
3
Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is
in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen,
and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
4 And the LORD shall sever
between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing
die of all that is the children's of Israel.
5
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this
thing in the land.
6
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the
cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of
Israel died not one.
7
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the
cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he
did not let the people go.
8 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of
the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of
Pharaoh.
9 And it shall become small dust
in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon
man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before
Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking
forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
11
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of
the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he
hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
13 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses,
Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let
my people go, that they may serve me.
14
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine
heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that
there is none like me in all the earth.
15
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee
and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for
to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the
earth.
17 As yet exaltest
thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18
Behold, to morrow about this
time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in
Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
19
Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that
thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in
the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall
come down upon them, and they shall die.
20
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of
Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
servants and his cattle in the field.
22 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be
hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of
the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the
LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the
LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very
grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it
became a nation.
25
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all
that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the
field, and brake every tree of the
field.
26
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel
were, was there no hail.
27
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said
unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people
are wicked.
28
Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29
And Moses said unto him, As soon
as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and
the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest
know how that the earth is the LORD'S.
30
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not
yet fear the LORD God.
31 And the flax and the barley was
smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32
But the wheat and the rie were
not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread
abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain
was not poured upon the earth.
34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the
thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his
servants.
35
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he
let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go
in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants,
that I might shew these my signs before him:
2
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of
thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have
done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
3
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto
him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let
my people go, that they may serve me.
4
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into
thy coast:
5
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one
cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which
is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail,
and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of
the field:
6
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy
servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which
neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that
they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out
from Pharaoh.
7
And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How
long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the
LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
destroyed?
8
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and
he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
9
And Moses said, We will go with
our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our
flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a
feast unto the LORD.
10
And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I
will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
11
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for
that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the
locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of
the land, even all that the hail hath left.
13
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that
night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the
locusts.
14
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and
rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there
were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the
land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land,
and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not
any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the
land of Egypt.
16
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he
said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray
thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take
away from me this death only.
18
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
19
And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took
away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea;
there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would
not let the children of Israel go.
21 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of
Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his
hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt
three days:
23
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place
for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks
and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
25
And Moses said, Thou must give us
also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our
God.
26
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve
the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve
the LORD, until we come thither.
27
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not
let them go.
28
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get
thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt
die.
29
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken
well, I will see thy face again no more.
