Exodus 8:8–19

⁸And Pharaoh calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, ‘Make supplication unto Jehovah, that he turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to Jehovah.’ ⁹And Moses saith to Pharaoh, ‘Beautify thyself over me; when do I make supplication for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses—only in the River they do remain?’ ¹⁰and he saith, ‘To-morrow.’ And he saith, According to thy word it is, so that thou knowest that there is none like Jehovah our God, ¹¹and the frogs have turned aside from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; only in the River they do remain.’ ¹²And Moses—Aaron also—goeth out from Pharaoh, and Moses crieth unto Jehovah, concerning the matter of the frogs which He hath set on Pharaoh; ¹³and Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields, ¹⁴and they heap them up together, and the land stinketh. ¹⁵And Pharaoh seeth that there hath been a respite, and he hath hardened his heart, and hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁶And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, and it hath become gnats in all the land of Egypt.’ ¹⁷And they do so, and Aaron stretcheth out his hand with his rod, and smiteth the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land hath been gnats in all the land of Egypt. ¹⁸And the scribes do so with their flashings, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast; ¹⁹and the scribes say unto Pharaoh, ‘It is the finger of God;’ and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
