8. And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God Who are they that shall go?
9. And Moses 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 have a feast of Jehovah.
10. And he said to them, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that evil is before you!
11. Not so: go now, ye that are men, and serve Jehovah! for it is that ye have desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12. And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land--all that the hail hath left.
13. And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
15. And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
16. And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God and against you.
17. And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your God that he may take away from me this death only!
18. And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
19. And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20. And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21. And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt--so that one may feel darkness.
