24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;

he made them too numerousb for their foes,

25 whose hearts he turnedc to hate his people,

to conspired against his servants.

26 He sent Mosese his servant,

and Aaron,f whom he had chosen.g

27 They performedh his signsi among them,

his wondersj in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darknessk and made the land dark—

for had they not rebelled againstl his words?

29 He turned their waters into blood,m

causing their fish to die.n

30 Their land teemed with frogs,o

which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.

31 He spoke,p and there came swarms of flies,q

and gnatsr throughout their country.

32 He turned their rain into hail,s

with lightning throughout their land;

33 he struck down their vinest and fig treesu

and shattered the trees of their country.

34 He spoke,v and the locusts came,w

grasshoppersx without number;y

35 they ate up every green thing in their land,

ate up the produce of their soil.

36 Then he struck down all the firstbornz in their land,

the firstfruits of all their manhood.

37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,a

and from among their tribes no one faltered.
