Exodus 8:1-15
The Plague of Frogs
81Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Come to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “aLet My people go, that they may serve Me. 2“But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I 1will smite your whole territory with frogs. 3“And the Nile will aswarm with frogs, and they will go up and come into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and on your people and into your ovens and into your kneading bowls. 4“So the frogs will come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’” 51Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘aStretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the 2streams and over the pools, and cause the frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’” 6So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the 1,afrogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7aAnd the 1magicians did 2the same with their secret arts; they caused the frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
8Then Pharaoh acalled for Moses and Aaron and said, “bEntreat Yahweh that He may cause the frogs to depart from me and from my people; and cI will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.” 9And Moses said to Pharaoh, “1May the honor be yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses, that they may remain only in the Nile?”
10Then he said, “Tomorrow.” So he said, “May it be according to your word, that you may know that there is ano one like Yahweh our God. 11“And the afrogs will depart from you and your houses and your servants and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.” 12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and aMoses cried out to Yahweh concerning the frogs which He had set upon Pharaoh. 13So Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courts, and the fields. 14So they piled them in heaps, and the land 1became foul. 15Then Pharaoh saw that there was relief, and he 1hardened his heart with firmness and adid not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
