Exodus 8:6-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. So Aharon stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitsrayim, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Mitsrayim.

7. And the magicians did so with their magic, and brought up frogs on the land of Mitsrayim.

8. Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, “Pray to יהוה to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I shall let the people go to slaughter to יהוה.”

9. And Mosheh said to Pharaoh, “Explain yourself to me: When am I to pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, and remain only in the river?”

10. So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, so that you know that there is no one like יהוה our Elohim.

11. “And the frogs shall turn aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people – they shall remain in the river only.”

12. And Mosheh and Aharon went out from Pharaoh. And Mosheh cried out to יהוה concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh.

13. And יהוה did according to the word of Mosheh. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields.

14. And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15. And when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as יהוה had said.

16. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it becomes gnats in all the land of Mitsrayim.’ ”

17. And they did so, and Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and it became gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the land became gnats in all the land of Mitsrayim.

18. And the magicians did similarly with their magic to bring forth gnats, but they were unable. And there were gnats on man and beast.
