Then he sent his servant Moses,

and Aaron, whom he also chose.

They worked marvels in that spiritual wasteland,

miracles in the Land of Ham.

He spoke, “Darkness!” and it turned dark—

they couldn’t see what they were doing.

He turned all their water to blood

so that all their fish died;

He made frogs swarm through the land,

even into the king’s bedroom;

He gave the word and flies swarmed,

gnats filled the air.

He substituted hail for rain,

he stabbed their land with lightning;

He wasted their vines and fig trees,

smashed their groves of trees to splinters;

With a word he brought in locusts,

millions of locusts, armies of locusts;

They consumed every blade of grass in the country

and picked the ground clean of produce;

He struck down every firstborn in the land,

the first fruits of their virile powers.

ate up the produce of their soil.

Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land,

the firstfruits of all their manhood.

But the Lord sent his servant Moses,

along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.

They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians,

and wonders in the land of Ham.

The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness,

for they had defied his commands to let his people go.

He turned their water into blood,

poisoning all the fish.

Then frogs overran the land

and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.

When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians,

and gnats swarmed across Egypt.

He sent them hail instead of rain,

and lightning flashed over the land.

He ruined their grapevines and fig trees

and shattered all the trees.

young locusts beyond number.

They ate up everything green in the land,

destroying all the crops in their fields.

Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,

the pride and joy of each family.

He sent Moses his servant;

And Aaron whom he had chosen.

They shewed his signs among them,

And wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and made it dark;

And they rebelled not against his word.

He turned their waters into blood,

And slew their fish.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,

In the chambers of their kings.

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies,

And lice in all their coasts.

He gave them hail for rain,

And flaming fire in their land.

He smote their vines also and their fig trees;

And brake the trees of their coasts.

He spake, and the locusts came,

And caterpillers, and that without number,

And did eat up all the herbs in their land,

And devoured the fruit of their ground.

He smote also all the firstborn in their land,

The chief of all their strength.
