| 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. | 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. | 1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says: Let my people go to worship me. | 1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what Yahweh says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me. | 1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Let my people go, that they may serve me. | 2 "But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite your whole territory with frogs. | 2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: | 2 If you refuse to let them go, I will bring a plague of frogs on your whole country. | 2 If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs: | 2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs. | 3 "The 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. | 3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: | 3 The Nile River will swarm with frogs. They will come into your palace, into your bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your officials, on your people, into your ovens and into your mixing bowls. | 3 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs: | 3 And the river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs. | 4 "So the frogs will come up on you and your people and all your servants."'" | 4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. | 4 The frogs will jump on you, on your people, and on all your officials.'" | 4 and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'" | 4 And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen. | 5 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.'" | 5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. | 5 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Hold your staff over the rivers, canals, and ponds. This will bring frogs onto the land.'" | 5 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'" | 5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. | 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. | 6 So Aaron held his staff over the waters of Egypt. The frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. | 6 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. | 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. | 7 The magicians did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up on the land of Egypt. | 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. | 7 But the magicians did the same thing using their magic spells and brought frogs onto the land. | 7 The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. | 7 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. | 8 Then 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." | 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. | 8 Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray that the LORD will take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the LORD." | 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh." | 8 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah. | 9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?" | 9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? | 9 Moses answered Pharaoh, "You may have the honor of choosing when I should pray for you, your officials, and your people. Then the frogs will leave you and your homes. The only ones left will be those in the Nile." | 9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only." | 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; so that they shall remain in the river only? | 10 Then 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. | 10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God. | 10 "Pray for me tomorrow," Pharaoh said. Moses replied, "It will be as you say so that you will know that there is no one like the LORD our God. | 10 He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like Yahweh our God. | 10 And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 "The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile." | 11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only. | 11 The frogs will leave you, your homes, your officials, and your people. The only frogs left will be those in the Nile." | 11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only." | 11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only. | 12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which He had inflicted upon Pharaoh. | 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. | 12 After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses prayed to the LORD about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh. | 12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh. | 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh. | 13 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courts, and the fields. | 13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. | 13 The LORD did what Moses asked. The frogs died in the houses, in the yards, and in the fields. | 13 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. | 13 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. | 14 So they piled them in heaps, and the land became foul. | 14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank. | 14 They were piled into countless heaps, and the land began to stink because of them. | 14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. | 14 And they gathered them in heaps; and the land stank. | 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as the LORD had said. | 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. | 15 When Pharaoh saw that the plague was over, he became stubborn and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, as the LORD had predicted. | 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn't listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken. | 15 And Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said. | The Plague of Insects |

| 16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats through all the land of Egypt.'" | 16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. | 16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Hold out your staff and strike the dust on the ground. All over Egypt the dust will turn into gnats.'" | 16 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'" | 16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. | 17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt. | 17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. | 17 When Moses told him, Aaron held out the staff in his hand and struck the dust on the ground. It turned into gnats that bit people and animals. All the dust on the ground everywhere in Egypt turned into gnats. | 17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. | 17 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt. | 18 The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; so there were gnats on man and beast. | 18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. | 18 The magicians also tried to produce gnats using their magic spells, but they couldn't do it. The gnats bit people and animals. | 18 The magicians tried with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal. | 18 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast. | 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God." But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said. | 19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. | 19 So the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the hand of God!" Yet, Pharaoh continued to be stubborn and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, as the LORD had predicted. | 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he didn't listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken. | 19 Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said. | 20 Now the LORD said to Moses, "Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, as he comes out to the water, and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me. | 20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. | 20 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Early in the morning, stand in Pharaoh's way when he's going to the Nile. Say to him, 'This is what the LORD says: Let my people go to worship me. | 20 Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me. | 20 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh behold, he will go out to the water and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 21 "For 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. | 21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. | 21 If you will not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you, your officials, your people, and your houses. The homes of the Egyptians will be filled with flies, and even the ground outside will be covered with them. | 21 Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. | 21 For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are. | 22 "But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are living, so that no swarms of insects will be there, in order that you may know that I, the LORD, am in the midst of the land. | 22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. | 22 But on that day I will treat the region of Goshen differently. That is where my people live. There won't be any flies there. This way you will know that I, the LORD, am here in this land. | 22 I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the earth. | 22 And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land. | 23 "I will put a division between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will occur."'" | 23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be. | 23 I will distinguish between my people and yours. This miraculous sign will happen tomorrow.'" | 23 I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'" | 23 And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be. | 24 Then the LORD did so. And there came 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. | 24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies. | 24 The LORD did what he said. Dense swarms of flies came into Pharaoh's palace and into the houses of his officials. All over Egypt the flies were ruining everything. | 24 Yahweh did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies. | 24 And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and into the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies. | 25 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God within the land." | 25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. | 25 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God here in this country." | 25 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land!" | 25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 26 But Moses said, "It is not right to do so, for we will sacrifice to the LORD our God what is an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not then stone us? | 26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? | 26 Moses replied, "It wouldn't be right to do that. The sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God are disgusting to Egyptians. If they see us offer sacrifices that they consider disgusting, won't they stone us to death? | 26 Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us? | 26 And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us? | 27 "We must go a three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us." | 27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us. | 27 We need to travel three days into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, as he told us to do." | 27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he shall command us." | 27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us. | 28 Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Make supplication for me." | 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me. | 28 Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, but don't go very far. You may offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the desert and pray for me." | 28 Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me." | 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me! | 29 Then Moses said, "Behold, I am going out from you, and I shall make supplication to the LORD that the swarms of insects may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully again in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD." | 29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD. | 29 Moses answered, "As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the LORD. Tomorrow the swarms of flies will go away from you, your officials, and your people. But you must stop tricking us by not letting the people go to offer sacrifices to the LORD." | 29 Moses said, "Behold, I go out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don't let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yahweh." | 29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah. | 30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and made supplication to the LORD. | 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD. | 30 Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD. | 30 Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh. | 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 31 The LORD did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of insects from Pharaoh, from his servants and from his people; not one remained. | 31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. | 31 The LORD did what Moses asked. The swarms of flies left Pharaoh, his officials, and his people. Not one fly was left. | 31 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one. | 31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one. | 32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go. | 32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. | 32 Yet, this time, too, Pharaoh was stubborn and did not let the people go. | 32 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn't let the people go. | 32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go. |
