THE PLAGUES

 

 

 

 

          And God spake to Moses, “Go unto Pharaoh and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve Me.

 

          “And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs, which shall go up and come unto thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon they bed, and into thine ovens.”

 

          And Aaron stretched out his rod over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

 

          But Pharaoh’s heart was still hard, and when God sent away the frogs he would not let them go.

 

          So God sent swarms of flies over all the land of Egypt. The Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Worship God here, in Egypt.” But Moses said, “We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, as God commanded us.” But Pharaoh would not let them go.

 

          So God sent a murrain on the cattle, and after that boils on the Egyptians.

 

          Then God sent hail that killed man and beast, and broke all the tress in the field. And every green thing that escaped the hail was eaten by locusts.

 

          But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, so he would not let the children of Israel go.
