02:010:003 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh,
and said unto him,
Thus
saith the lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt
thou
refuse
to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that
they
may serve me.
02:010:004 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go,
behold, to morrow
will
I bring the locusts into thy coast:
02:010:005 And they shall cover the face of the earth,
that one cannot be
able
to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue
of that
which
is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail,
and
shall
eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
02:010:006 And they shall fill thy houses, and the
houses of all thy
servants,
and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither
thy
fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen,
since the day
that
they were upon the earth unto this day. And he
turned
himself,
and went out from Pharaoh.
02:010:007 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto
him, How long shall this man
be
a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve
the
lord
their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
destroyed?
02:010:008 And Moses and Aaron were brought again
unto Pharaoh: and he
said
unto them, Go, serve the lord your God: but
who are they
that
shall go?
02:010:009 And Moses said, We will go with our young
and with our old,
with
our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and
with
our
herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the
lord.
02:010:010 And he said unto them, Let the lord
be so with you, as I will
let
you go, and your little ones: look to it; for
evil is
before
you.
02:010:011 Not so: go now ye that are men, and
serve the lord; for that
ye
did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s
presence.
02:010:012 And the lord said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand over the
land
of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon
the
land
of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all
that
the
hail hath left.
02:010:013 And Moses stretched forth his rod over
the land of Egypt, and
the
lord brought an east wind upon the land all that
day, and
all
that night; and when it was morning, the east wind
brought
the
locusts.
02:010:014 And the locust went up over all the land
of Egypt, and rested
in
all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they;
before
them
there were no such locusts as they, neither after them
shall
be such.
