1
And Yahuah said to Mosheh, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says Yahuah: Send My people away, that they may serve Me.
2
And if you refuse to send them away, see: I will strike all your territory with frogs.
3
And the River shall swarm with frogs, and they shall come up and enter your house, and your bedchamber, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
4
And the frogs shall come up upon you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.’”
5
And Yahuah said to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the pools, and cause the frogs to come up upon the land of Mitzrayim.’”
6
And Aharon stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitzrayim, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Mitzrayim.
7
And the diviners did so with their secret arts, and caused frogs to come up upon the land of Mitzrayim.
8
And Pharaoh called Mosheh and Aharon and said, “Plead with Yahuah that He remove the frogs from me and from my people, and I will send the people away, that they may sacrifice to Yahuah.”
9
And Mosheh said to Pharaoh, “Glorify yourself over me: for when shall I plead for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses, remaining only in the River?”
10
And he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “According to your word, so that you may know that there is none like Yahuah our Elohim.
11
And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. Only in the River shall they remain.”
12
And Mosheh and Aharon went out from Pharaoh, and Mosheh cried to Yahuah concerning the frogs that He had set upon Pharaoh.
13
And Yahuah did according to the word of Mosheh, and the frogs died from the houses, from the courtyards, and from the fields.
14
And they gathered them together in heaps upon heaps, and the land stank.
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he made his heart heavy and did not listen to them, according to what Yahuah had spoken.
16
And Yahuah said to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout all the land of Mitzrayim.’”
17
And they did so. And Aharon stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats upon Adam and upon beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats throughout all the land of Mitzrayim.
18
And the diviners did so with their secret arts, to bring forth gnats, but they were not able. And the gnats were upon Adam and upon beast.
19
And the diviners said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of Elohim.” But the heart of Pharaoh was strengthened, and he did not listen to them, according to what Yahuah had spoken.
20
And Yahuah said to Mosheh, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. See, he is going out toward the water. And you shall say to him, ‘Thus says Yahuah: Send My people away, that they may serve Me.
21
For if you do not send My people away, see: I will send swarms upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses. And the houses of the Mitzrim shall be filled with the swarms, and also the ground upon which they are.
22
And on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, upon which My people stand, so that no swarms shall be there, so that you may know that I am Yahuah in the midst of the earth.
23
And I will set a distinction between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.’”
24
And Yahuah did so, and a heavy swarm came into the house of Pharaoh, and the houses of his servants, and throughout all the land of Mitzrayim. The land was ruined before the swarm.
25
And Pharaoh called Mosheh and Aharon and said, “Go, sacrifice to your Elohim within the land.”
26
And Mosheh said, “It is not right to do so, because we would sacrifice to Yahuah our Elohim that which is an abomination to the Mitzrim. See, if we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Mitzrim before their eyes, will they not stone us?
27
We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness and sacrifice to Yahuah our Elohim according to what He says to us.”
28
And Pharaoh said, “I will send you away, that you may sacrifice to Yahuah your Elohim in the wilderness. Only you shall not go very far away. Plead for me.”
29
And Mosheh said, “See, I am going out from you, and I will plead to Yahuah, and the swarm shall depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only let Pharaoh not continue to deceive by refusing to send the people away to sacrifice to Yahuah.”
30
And Mosheh went out from Pharaoh and pleaded to Yahuah.
31
And Yahuah did according to the word of Mosheh, and removed the swarm from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained.
32
But Pharaoh made his heart heavy this time also, and he did not send the people away.
