CHAPTER VIII-continued.)
T 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.
And Aaron stretched out his
hand over the waters of Egypt; ana
the frogs came up, and covered the
land OF Egypt.
Z And the magicians did so with
their entertainments. and brought up
frogs upon the land of Egypt.
4 Then Pharaoh called for
Moses and Aaron, and said. Entreat
the Lord. that he may take away
the frogs from me. and from my
people: and will let the people go,
that they may do sacrifice upon the
Lord.
3 And Moses said unto Pharaoh,
Glory over me: when shall I en-
! treat for thee. and for thy servants,
and for thy people, to destroy the
frogs from thee and thy houses,
that they remain in the river only?
10 And he said. Tomorrow. And
he said, Be it according to thy
word; that thou mayest know that
there is none like unto the Lord our
God.
IL And the frogs shall deparl
! from thee. and from thy houses,
and from thy servants. and from thy
people; they shall remain in the
river only.
IL And Moses and Aaron went
out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
unto the Lord because of the frogs
which he had brought against Pha-
raoh.
IL 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.
II And they gathered them TO-
Eether upon heaps: and the land
stank.
Is But when Pharaoh saw that
there was respite. he hardened his
heart. and hearkened not unto
| them; as the Lord had said.
16 4 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Say unto Aaron. Stretch out
thy rod. and smite the dust Of the
land. that il may become lice
| throughout all the land Of Egypt.
a 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.
is And the magicians did so
with their entertainments to bring
forth lice. but they could not: so
there were lice upon man. and upon
| beast.
10 Then the magicians said unto
Pharaoh, This is the finger OF God
and Pharaoh's heart was hardened.
I
as the Lord had said.
| 20 Il And the Lord shd unto
Moses, Rise up early in the morn
ing. and stand before Pharaoh; 10,
he cometh forth to the water: and
say unto him, Thus saith the Lord,
Let my people go, that they may
serve me.
81 Else. II thou wilt not let my
people go. behold. l will send
swarms of flies upon thee, and up
on 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.
% And I will sever in that day
the land of Goshen. in which my
4 people dwell, that no swarms OF
flies shall be there; to the end thoy
mayest know that ! am the Lord In
the midst of the earth.
I % And 1 will put a division be-
tween my people and thy people: to-
morrow shall this sign be.
| "a And the Lord did so; and
there care 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.
Is And Pharaoh called fol
Moses and for Aaron. and said. &C
We, sacrifice to your God in the
land.
i 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: 10, shall we sacrifice
the abomination of the Egyptians
before their eyes. and will they not
stone us7
| 81 We will go three days jour.
4 ney into the wilderness. and sacri-
flee to the Lord our God, as he shall
command us.
rs And Pharaoh said, I will lei
tyou go, that ye may sacrifice to tn,
Lord your God In the wilderness
only ye shall not go very far, away
= entreat for me.
