1 And YHWH said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you will say to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me. 2 And if you are refusing to send them away, look, I will strike all your border with frogs. 3 And the River will abound with frogs, and they will have go up and go into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs. 4 Indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs will go up.” 5 And YHWH said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.” 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the enchanters did so with their secrets, and caused the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt. 8 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I will send the people away, and they will sacrifice to YHWH.” 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Beautify yourself over me. When do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they will remain?” 10 And he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “According to your word it is, so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH, 11 and the frogs will turn aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. Only in the River they will remain.” 12 And Moses—Aaron also—went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He had set on Pharaoh. 13 And YHWH did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields, 14 and they heaped them up together, and the land stank. 15 And Pharaoh saw that there had been a respite, and he had hardened his heart, and had not listened to them, as YHWH had spoken. 16 And YHWH said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, and it will become gnats in all the land of Egypt.” 17 And they did so, and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the land, and the gnats were on man and on beast. All the dust of the land had been gnats in all the land of Egypt. 18 And the enchanters did so with their secrets, to bring out the gnats, and they had not been able, and the gnats were on man and on beast. 19 And the enchanters said to Pharaoh, “It is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was strong, and he had not listened to them, as YHWH had spoken. 20 And YHWH said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, look, he will be going out to the waters, and you will say to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me. 21 For if you are not sending My people away, look, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are. 22 And I will separate in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people stand, that the beetle will not be there, so that you know that I am YHWH in the middle of the land, 23 and I will put a division between My people and your people. This sign will be tomorrow.” 24 And YHWH did so, and the grievous beetle entered the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted from the presence of the beetle. 25 And Pharaoh called to Moses and to Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.” 26 And Moses said, “It is not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH. Look, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us! 27 We will go on a journey of three days into the wilderness and will sacrifice to our God YHWH as He said to us.” 28 And Pharaoh said, “I will send you away, and you will have sacrifice to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off. Make supplication for me.” 29 And Moses said, “Look, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle will have turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH.” 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and made supplication to YHWH, 31 and YHWH did according to the word of Moses, and turned aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people—there had not been one left. 32 And Pharaoh also hardened his heart at this time, and had not sent the people away.
