ASV_Strong : Exodus 10
1. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Go[H935] in unto Pharaoh[H6547]: for I have hardened[H3513] his heart[H3820], and the heart[H3820] of his servants[H5650], that I may show[H7896] these my signs[H226] in the midst of them[H7130],
2. and that thou mayest tell[H5608] in the ears[H241] of thy son[H1121], and of thy son[H1121]'s son[H1121], what things I have wrought[H5953] upon Egypt[H4714], and my signs[H226] which I have done[H7760] among them[H3045]; that ye may know that I am Jehovah[H3068].
3. And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] went in[H935] unto Pharaoh[H6547], and said[H559] unto him[H559], Thus saith Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of the Hebrews[H5680], How long[H4970] wilt thou refuse[H3985] to humble[H6031] thyself before[H6440] me[H5971]? let my people go[H7971], that they may serve me[H5647].
4. Else[H3588], if thou refuse[H3986] to let my people[H5971] go[H7971], behold[H4279], to-morrow will I bring[H935] locusts[H697] into thy border[H1366]:
5. and they shall cover[H3680] the face[H5869] of the earth[H776], so that one shall not be able[H3201] to see[H7200] the earth[H776]: and they shall eat[H398] the residue[H3499] of that which is escaped[H6413], which remaineth[H7604] unto you from the hail[H1259], and shall eat[H398] every tree[H6086] which groweth[H6779] for you out of the field[H7704]:
6. and thy houses[H1004] shall be filled[H1004], and the houses of all thy servants[H5650], and the houses[H1004] of all the Egyptians[H4714]; as neither thy fathers[H1] nor thy fathers[H1]' fathers[H1] have seen[H7200], since the day[H3117] that they were upon the earth[H127] unto this day[H3117]. And he turned[H6437], and went out[H3318] from Pharaoh[H6547].
7. And Pharaoh[H6547]'s servants[H5650] said[H559] unto him[H4170], How long shall this man be a snare unto us[H582]? let the men go[H7971], that they may serve[H5647] Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430]: knowest[H3045] thou not yet[H2962] that Egypt[H4714] is destroyed[H6]?
8. And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] were brought again[H7725] unto Pharaoh[H6547]: and he said[H559] unto them[H3212], Go, serve[H5647] Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430]; but who are they that shall go[H1980]?
9. And Moses[H4872] said[H559], We will go[H3212] with our young[H5288] and with our old[H2205]; with our sons[H1121] and with our daughters[H1323], with our flocks[H6629] and with our herds[H1241] will we go[H3212]; for we must hold a feast[H2282] unto Jehovah[H3068].
10. And he said[H559] unto them[H3068], So be Jehovah with you[H7971], as I will let you go, and your little ones[H2945]: look[H7200] to it[H7451]; for evil is before you[H6440].
11. Not so[H3212]: go now ye that are men[H1397], and serve[H5647] Jehovah[H3068]; for that is what ye desire[H1245]. And they were driven out[H1644] from Pharaoh[H6547]'s presence[H6440].
12. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Stretch out[H5186] thy hand[H3027] over the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] for the locusts[H697], that they may come up[H5927] upon the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and eat[H398] every herb[H6212] of the land[H776], even all that the hail[H1259] hath left[H7604].
13. And Moses[H4872] stretched forth[H5186] his rod[H4294] over the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and Jehovah[H3068] brought[H5090] an east[H6921] wind[H7307] upon the land[H776] all that day[H3117], and all the night[H3915]; and when it was morning[H1242], the east[H6921] wind[H7307] brought[H5375] the locusts[H697].
14. And the locusts[H697] went up[H5927] over all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and rested[H5117] in all the borders[H1366] of Egypt[H4714]; very[H3966] grievous[H3515] were they[H6440]; before them there were no such[H3651] locusts[H697] as they[H310], neither after them shall be such.
15. For they covered[H3680] the face[H5869] of the whole earth[H776], so that the land[H776] was darkened[H2821]; and they did eat[H398] every herb[H6212] of the land[H776], and all the fruit[H6529] of the trees[H6086] which the hail[H1259] had left[H3498]: and there remained[H3498] not any green thing[H3418], either tree[H6086] or herb[H6212] of the field[H7704], through all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
16. Then Pharaoh[H6547] called[H7121] for Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] in haste[H4116]; and he said[H559], I have sinned[H2398] against Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430], and against you.
17. Now therefore forgive[H5375], I pray thee[H2403], my sin only this once[H6471], and entreat[H6279] Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430], that he may take away[H5493] from me this death only[H4194].
18. And he went out[H3318] from Pharaoh[H6547], and entreated[H6279] Jehovah[H3068].
19. And Jehovah[H3068] turned[H2015] an exceeding[H3966] strong[H2389] west[H3220] wind[H7307], which took up[H5375] the locusts[H697], and drove[H8628] them into the Red[H5488] Sea[H3220]; there remained[H7604] not one[H259] locust[H697] in all the border[H1366] of Egypt[H4714].
20. But Jehovah[H3068] hardened[H2388] Pharaoh[H6547]'s heart[H3820], and he did not let the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] go[H7971].
21. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Stretch out[H5186] thy hand[H3027] toward heaven[H8064], that there may be darkness[H2822] over the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], even darkness[H2822] which may be felt[H4959].
22. And Moses[H4872] stretched forth[H5186] his hand[H3027] toward heaven[H8064]; and there was a thick[H653] darkness[H2822] in all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] three[H7969] days[H3117];
23. they saw[H7200] not one[H376] another[H251], neither rose[H6965] any[H376] one from his place for three[H7969] days[H3117]: but all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] had light[H216] in their dwellings[H4186].
24. And Pharaoh[H6547] called[H7121] unto Moses[H4872], and said[H559], Go[H3212] ye[H5647], serve Jehovah[H3068]; only let your flocks[H6629] and your herds[H1241] be stayed[H3322]: let your little ones[H2945] also go with you[H3212].
25. And Moses[H4872] said[H559], Thou must also give[H5414] into our hand[H3027] sacrifices[H6213] and burnt-offerings[H5930], that we may sacrifice[H6213] unto Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430].
26. Our cattle[H4735] also shall go[H3212] with us[H6541]; there shall not a hoof be left behind[H7604]; for thereof must we take[H3947] to serve[H5647] Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430]; and we know[H3045] not with what we must serve[H5647] Jehovah[H3068], until we come thither[H935].
27. But Jehovah[H3068] hardened[H2388] Pharaoh[H6547]'s heart[H3820], and he would[H14] not let them go[H7971].
28. And Pharaoh[H6547] said[H559] unto him[H3212], Get thee from me[H8104], take heed to thyself[H7200], see my face[H6440] no more[H3254]; for in the day[H3117] thou seest[H7200] my face[H6440] thou shalt die[H4191].
29. And Moses[H4872] said[H559], Thou hast spoken[H1696] well[H3651]; I will see[H7200] thy face[H6440] again no more[H3254].
