Exodus 8:2-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

2. If you refuse, then I will punish Egypt with frogs.

3. The Nile River will be filled with frogs. They will come from the river and enter your palace. They will be in your bedroom and your bed. The frogs will enter the houses of your officers and your people. They will enter your ovens and your baking pans.

4. The frogs will jump up all over you, your people and your officers.’”

5. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron to hold his walking stick in his hand over the rivers, canals and ponds. Make frogs come up out of the water onto the land of Egypt.”

6. So Aaron held his hand over all the waters of Egypt. The frogs came up out of the water and covered the land of Egypt.

7. The magicians used their tricks to do the same thing. So even more frogs came up onto the land of Egypt.

8. So the king called for Moses and Aaron. He said, “Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.”

9. Moses said to the king, “Please set the time that I should pray for you, your people and your officers. Then the frogs will leave you and your houses. They will remain only in the Nile.”
