Exodus 7-8:24

8Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 9“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘[1] Work a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” 10So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and [1] his servants, and it became a serpent.

11Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the [1] magicians of Egypt, did [2] the same with their secret arts. 12For each one threw down his staff and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13Yet Pharaoh’s heart was [1] hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

14Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is [1] stubborn; he refuses to let the people go. 15Go to Pharaoh in the morning [1] as he is going out to the water, and station yourself to meet him on the bank of the Nile; and you shall take in your hand the staff that was turned into a serpent. 16You shall say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now.” 17Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, I will strike [1] the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood. 18The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will [1] become foul, and the Egyptians will [2] find difficulty in drinking water from the Nile.”’”

19Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their [1] streams, and over their pools, and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

20So Moses and Aaron did even as the Lord had commanded. And he lifted up [1] the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. 21The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile [1] became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt. 22But the [1] magicians of Egypt did [2] the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh’s heart was [3] hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said. 23Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house [1] with no concern even for this. 24So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the Nile.

25Seven days [1] passed after the Lord had struck the Nile.

8:1[1] Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 2But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite your whole territory with frogs. 3The Nile will swarm with frogs, which will come up and go into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and on your people, and into your ovens and into your kneading bowls. 4So the frogs will come up on you and your people and all your servants.”’”

5[1] Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the [2] streams and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’”

6So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the [1] frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7The [1] magicians did [2] the same with their secret arts, [3] making frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Entreat the Lord that He remove the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”

9Moses said to Pharaoh, “[1] The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be [2] destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?”

10Then he said, “Tomorrow.”

So he said, “May it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God. 11The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”

12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had [1] inflicted upon Pharaoh. 13The Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courts, and the fields. 14So they piled them in heaps, and the land [1] became foul. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he [1] hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become [1] gnats through all the land of Egypt.’”

17They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were [1] gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt.

18The [1] magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth [2] gnats, but they could not; so there were [2] gnats on man and beast. 19Then the [1] magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was [2] hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

20Now the Lord said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, [1] as he comes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 21For if you do not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of insects on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of insects, and also the ground on which they dwell. 22But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are [1] living, so that no swarms of insects will be there, in order that you may know that [2] I, the Lord, am in the midst of the land. 23I will [1] put a division between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will occur.”’”

24Then the Lord did so. And there came [1] great swarms of insects into the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and the land was laid waste because of the swarms of insects in all the land of Egypt.
