Exodus 8:1–20

And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, ^athat they may serve me. ²And if thou ^brefuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with ^cfrogs: ³And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into ^dthy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy ^||kneadingtroughs: ⁴And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. ⁵And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, ^eStretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. ⁶And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and ^fthe frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. ^7gAnd the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. ⁸Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ^hIntreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord. ⁹And Moses said unto Pharaoh, ^||Glory over me: ^||when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, ^†to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? ¹⁰And he said, ^||To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that ⁱthere is none like unto the Lord our God. ¹¹And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only. ¹²And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. ¹³And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. ¹⁴And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank. ¹⁵But when Pharaoh saw that there was ^krespite, ^lhe hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.

¹⁶And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. ¹⁷And they did so; for Aaron ^mstretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and ⁿit became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. ¹⁸And ^othe magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. ¹⁹Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is ^pthe finger of God: and Pharaoh’s ^qheart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.

²⁰And the Lord said unto Moses, ^rRise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, ^sLet my people go, that they may serve me.
