Exodus · Chapter 8
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Let my people go, that they may serve me.
And if thou refuse to let
them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, Say unto Aharon, Stretch 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 Mitsrayim.
And Aharon stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitsrayim; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Mitsrayim.
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Mitsrayim.
Then Pharaoh called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, Intreat 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), 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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Mosheh 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?
And he said, To morrow. And he said,
Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that
there is none like unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim.
And 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.
And Mosheh and Aharon went out from Pharaoh: and Mosheh cried unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did according to the word of Mosheh; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had said.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Say unto Aharon, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
And they did so; for Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This
is the finger of Elohim: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had said.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms
of flies, and also the ground whereon they
are.
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms
of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) in the midst of the earth.
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did so; and there came a grievous swarm
of flies
into the house of Pharaoh, and
into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Mitsrayim: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm
of flies.
And Pharaoh called for Mosheh and for Aharon, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your Elohim in the land.
And Mosheh said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim, as he shall command us.
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
And Mosheh said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that the swarms
of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Mosheh went out from Pharaoh, and intreated 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did according to the word of Mosheh; and he removed the swarms
of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Exodus · Chapter 9
Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
For if thou refuse to let
them go, and wilt hold them still,
Behold, the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) is upon thy cattle which
is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep:
there shall be a very grievous murrain.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall sever between the cattle of Yisra'el and the cattle of Mitsrayim: and there shall nothing die of all
that is the children’s of Yisra'el.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) appointed a set time, saying, To morrow 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall do this thing in the land.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Mitsrayim died: but of the cattle of the children of Yisra'el died not one.
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh and unto Aharon, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Mosheh sprinkle it toward the shamayim in the sight of Pharaoh.
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Mitsrayim, and shall be a boil breaking forth
with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Mosheh sprinkled it up toward shamayim; and it became a boil breaking forth
with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
And the magicians could not stand before Mosheh because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had spoken unto Mosheh.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that
there is
none like me in all the earth.
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
And in very deed for this
cause have I raised thee up, for to shew
in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Mitsrayim since the foundation thereof even until now.
Send therefore now,
and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field;
for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
He that feared the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
And he that regarded not the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) left his servants and his cattle in the field.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Stretch forth thine hand toward shamayim, that there may be hail in all the land of Mitsrayim, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Mitsrayim.
And Mosheh stretched forth his rod toward shamayim: and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) rained hail upon the land of Mitsrayim.
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Mitsrayim since it became a nation.
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Mitsrayim all that
was
in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Yisra'el
were,
was there no hail.
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is righteous, and I and my people
are wicked.
Intreat 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) (for
it is enough) that there be no
more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
And Mosheh said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH);
and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth
is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S.
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim.
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax
was bolled.
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they
were
not grown up.
And Mosheh went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Yisra'el go; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had spoken by Mosheh.

Shemot10
Exodus · Chapter 10
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Mitsrayim, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Mosheh and Aharon came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim: knowest thou not yet that Mitsrayim is destroyed?
And Mosheh and Aharon were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim:
but who
are they that shall go?
And Mosheh said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we
must hold a feast unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And he said unto them, Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look
to it; for evil
is before you.
Not so: go now ye
that are men, and serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Mitsrayim for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Mitsrayim, and eat every herb of the land,
even all that the hail hath left.
And Mosheh stretched forth his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all
that night;
and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim, and rested in all the coasts of Mitsrayim: very grievous
were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Mitsrayim.
Then Pharaoh called for Mosheh and Aharon in haste; and he said, I have sinned against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim, and against you.
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim, that he may take away from me this death only.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Mitsrayim.
But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Yisra'el go.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Stretch out thine hand toward shamayim, that there may be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even darkness
which
may be felt.
And Mosheh stretched forth his hand toward shamayim; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim three days:
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Yisra'el had light in their dwellings.
And Pharaoh called unto Mosheh, and said, Go ye, serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
And Mosheh said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim.
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim; and we know not with what we must serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), until we come thither.
But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in
that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
And Mosheh said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
