Exodus 8:1-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. The Lord also said to Moses: "Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: 'Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.

2. But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.

3. And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.

4. And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.' "

5. And the Lord said to Moses: "Say to Aaron: 'Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.' "

6. And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7. Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8. But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: "Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord."

9. And Moses said to Pharaoh: "Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river."

10. And he responded, "Tomorrow." Then he said, "I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.

11. And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river."
