Exodus 8 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Frogs over the Land

[fn]Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Go^H935 to Pharaoh^H6547 and say^H559 to him, ‘This^H3541 is^H3541 what^H3541 the LORD^H3068 says^H559: “Let^H7971 My people^H5971 go^H7971, so that they may serve^H5647 Me.

Exo 8:2

Exo 8:2“But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I am going to strike your entire territory with frogs.

Exo 8:3

Exo 8:3“The Nile will swarm with frogs, which will come up and go 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 kneading bowls.

Exo 8:4

Exo 8:4“So the frogs will come up on you, your people, and on all your servants.”’”

Exo 8:5

Exo 8:5 [fn]Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Extend your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the [fn]streams, and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’”

Exo 8:6

Exo 8:6So Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the [fn]frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

Exo 8:7

Exo 8:7However, the soothsayer priests did the same with their secret arts, [fn]making frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

Exo 8:8

Then Pharaoh^H6547 called^H7121 for Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175 and said^H559, “Plead^H6279 with the LORD^H3068 [fn]to remove^H5493 the frogs^H6854 from me and from my people^H5971; and I will let^H7971 the people^H5971 go^H7971, so that they may sacrifice^H2076 to the LORD^H3068.”

Exo 8:9

Exo 8:9And Moses said to Pharaoh, “[fn]The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I plead for you and your servants and your people, [fn]that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they be left only in the Nile?”

Exo 8:10

Then he said^H559, “Tomorrow^H4279.” So he said^H559, “May it be according to your word^H1697, so^H4616 that^H4616 you may know^H3045 that there^H369 is^H369 no^H369 one^H369 like the LORD^H3068 our God^H430.

Exo 8:11

Exo 8:11“The frogs will depart from you and your houses, and from your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”

Exo 8:12

Exo 8:12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried out to the LORD concerning the frogs which He had [fn]inflicted upon Pharaoh.

Exo 8:13

Exo 8:13The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courtyards, and the fields.

Exo 8:14

Exo 8:14So they piled them in heaps, and the land stank.

Exo 8:15

Exo 8:15But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he [fn]hardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

The Plague of Insects

Exo 8:16

Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Say^H559 to Aaron^H175, ‘Extend^H5186 your staff^H4294 and strike^H5221 the dust^H6083 of the earth^H776, so that it may turn^H1961 into [fn]gnats^H3654 through all^H3605 the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.’”

Exo 8:17

Exo 8:17They did so; and Aaron extended his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were [fn]gnats on every [fn]person and animal. All the dust of the earth turned into [fn]gnats through all the land of Egypt.

Exo 8:18

Exo 8:18The soothsayer priests tried with their secret arts to produce [fn]gnats, but they could not; so there were [fn]gnats on every person and animal.

Exo 8:19

Exo 8:19Then the soothsayer priests said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was [fn]hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

Exo 8:20

Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Rise^H7925 early^H7925 in the morning^H1242 and present^H3320 yourself before^H6440 Pharaoh^H6547, [fn]as he comes^H3318 out^H3318 to the water^H4325; and say^H559 to him, ‘This^H3541 is^H3541 what^H3541 the LORD^H3068 says^H559: “Let^H7971 My people^H5971 go^H7971, so that they may serve^H5647 Me.

Exo 8:21

Exo 8:21“For if you are not going to let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people, and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they live.

Exo 8:22

Exo 8:22“But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are [fn]living, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that [fn]I, the LORD, am in the midst of the land.

Exo 8:23

Exo 8:23“I will [fn]put a division between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will occur.”’”

Exo 8:24

Exo 8:24Then the LORD did so. And [fn]thick swarms of flies entered the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants, and the land was laid waste because of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.

Exo 8:25

Then Pharaoh^H6547 called^H7121 for Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175 and said^H559, “Go^H1980, sacrifice^H2076 to your God^H430 within the land^H776.”

Exo 8:26

Exo 8:26But Moses said, “It is not permissible for us to do so, because we will sacrifice to the LORD our God [fn]that which is an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice [fn]that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

Exo 8:27

Exo 8:27“We must go a three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God, just as He [fn]commands us.”

Exo 8:28

Exo 8:28Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, so that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Plead for me.”

Exo 8:29

Exo 8:29Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going to leave you, and I will plead with the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully again in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.”

Exo 8:30

So Moses^H4872 left^H3318^H4480 Pharaoh^H6547 and pleaded^H6279 with the LORD^H3068.

Exo 8:31

Exo 8:31The LORD did [fn]as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.

Exo 8:32

Exo 8:32But Pharaoh [fn]hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
