1 Then the Lordsaid to Moses, "Go to the king and tell him that the Lordsays, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me. 2 If you refuse, I will punish your country by covering it with frogs. 3 The Nilewill be so full of frogs that they will leave it and go into your palace, your bedroom, your bed, the houses of your officials and your people, and even into your ovens and baking pans. 4 They will jump up on you, your people, and all your officials.’"
5 The Lordsaid to Moses, "Tell Aaronto hold out his walking stick over the rivers, the canals, and the pools, and make frogs come up and cover the land of Egypt." 6 So Aaronheld it out over all the water, and the frogs came out and covered the land. 7 But the magicians used magic, and they also made frogs come up on the land.
8 The king called for Mosesand Aaronand said, "Pray to the Lordto take away these frogs, and I will let your people go, so that they can offer sacrifices to the Lord."
9 Mosesreplied, "I will be glad to pray for you. Just set the time when I am to pray for you, your officers, and your people. Then you will be rid of the frogs, and there will be none left except in the Nile."
10 The king answered, "Pray for me tomorrow."
Moses said, "I will do as you ask, and then you will know that there is no other god like the Lord, our God. 11 You, your officials, and your people will be rid of the frogs, and there will be none left except in the Nile." 12 Then Mosesand Aaronleft the king, and Mosesprayed to the Lordto take away the frogs which he had brought on the king. 13 The Lorddid as Mosesasked, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died. 14 The Egyptians piled them up in great heaps, until the land stank with them. 15 When the king saw that the frogs were dead, he became stubborn again and, just as the Lordhad said, the king would not listen to Moses and Aaron.
Gnats
16 The Lordsaid to Moses, "Tell Aaronto strike the ground with his stick, and all over the land of Egyptthe dust will change into gnats." 17 So Aaronstruck the ground with his stick, and all the dust in Egyptwas turned into gnats, which covered the people and the animals. 18 The magicians tried to use their magic to make gnats appear, but they failed. There were gnats everywhere, 19 Lk 11.20and the magicians said to the king, "God has done this!" But the king was stubborn and, just as the Lordhad said, the king would not listen to Moses and Aaron.
Flies
20 The Lordsaid to Moses, "Early tomorrow morning go and meet the king as he goes to the river, and tell him that the Lordsays, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me. 21 I warn you that if you refuse, I will punish you by sending flies on you, your officials, and your people. The houses of the Egyptianswill be full of flies, and the ground will be covered with them. 22 But I will spare the region of Goshen, where my people live, so that there will be no flies there. I will do this so that you will know that I, the Lord, am at work in this land. 23 I will make a distinction8.23: Some ancient translations a distinction; Hebrew redemption.between my people and your people. This miracle will take place tomorrow.’" 24 The Lordsent great swarms of flies into the king’s palace and the houses of his officials. The whole land of Egyptwas brought to ruin by the flies.
25 Then the king called for Mosesand Aaronand said, "Go and offer sacrifices to your God here in this country."
26 "It would not be right to do that," Mosesanswered, "because the Egyptians would be offended by our sacrificing the animals that we offer to the Lordour God. If we use these animals and offend the Egyptians by sacrificing them where they can see us, they will stone us to death. 27 We must travel three days into the desert to offer sacrifices to the Lordour God, just as he commanded us."
28 The king said, "I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord, your God, in the desert, if you do not go very far. Pray for me."
29 Mosesanswered, "As soon as I leave, I will pray to the Lordthat tomorrow the flies will leave you, your officials, and your people. But you must not deceive us again and prevent the people from going to sacrifice to the Lord."
30 Mosesleft the king and prayed to the Lord, 31 and the Lorddid as Mosesasked. The flies left the king, his officials, and his people; not one fly remained. 32 But even this time the king became stubborn, and again he would not let the people go.
