Exodus 10:21–29

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.’ ²²And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days; ²³they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.’ ²⁴And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, ‘Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;’ ²⁵and Moses saith, ‘Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God; ²⁶and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we—we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.’ ²⁷And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away; ²⁸and Pharaoh saith to him, ‘Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;’ ²⁹and Moses saith, ‘Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.’
