02:008:023 And I will put a division between my people
and thy people: to
morrow
shall this sign be.
02:008:024 And the lord did so; and there came
a 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.
02:008:025 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron,
and said, Go ye,
sacrifice
to your God in the land.
02:008:026 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do;
for we shall
sacrifice
the abomination of the Egyptians to the lord our
God:
lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians
before
their eyes, and will they not stone us?
02:008:027 We will go three days’ journey into
the wilderness, and
sacrifice
to the lord our God, as he shall command us.
02:008:028 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that
ye may sacrifice to
the
lord your God in the wilderness; only ye shall
not go very
far
away: intreat for me.
02:008:029 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee,
and I will intreat
the
lord that the swarms of flies may depart from
Pharaoh,
from
his servants, and from his people, to morrow:
but let not
Pharaoh
deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people
go
to
sacrifice to the lord.
02:008:030 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the lord.
02:008:031 And the lord did according to the
word of Moses; and he
removed
the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants,
and
from his people; there remained not one.
02:008:032 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this
time also, neither
would
he let the people go.
02:009:001 Then the lord said unto Moses, Go
in unto Pharaoh, and tell
him,
Thus saith the lord God of the Hebrews, Let my
people go,
that
they may serve me.
02:009:002 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
02:009:003 Behold, the hand of the lord is upon
thy cattle which is in
the
field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels,
upon
the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a
very
grievous
murrain.
02:009:004 And the lord shall sever between the
cattle of Israel and the
cattle
of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that
is
the
children’s of Israel.
02:009:005 And the lord appointed a set time,
saying, To morrow the lord
shall
do this thing in the land.
02:009:006 And the lord did that thing on the
morrow, and all the cattle
of
Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children
of Israel
died
not one.
