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:

And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat 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?
Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”

from thee, and I will intreat 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.
“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that
tomorrow the swarms of
flies will depart
from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act
deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
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.

flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.

toss it into the air.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses
sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a
boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses
tossed it into the air, and

Behold, to
morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
Behold, at this time
tomorrow I will rain down the worst
hail that has ever fallen on Egypt,
from the day it was founded until now.
So there was
hail, and fire mingled with the
hail, very
grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
The
hail fell and the
lightning continued
flashing through it. The
hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt
from the time it became a nation.
And Moses went out of the city
from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and
hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Then Moses departed
from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The
thunder and
hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you
from the
hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will
devour whatever is left after the
hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
Now therefore
forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away
from me this death only.
Now please
forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death
from me.”
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
No one could see
anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee
from me, take
heed to
thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
“Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
and every
firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die,
from the
firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the
firstborn of the servant
girl behind the hand mill, as well as the
firstborn of all the cattle.
And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
And all these officials of yours will come and bow before me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that, I will depart.” And hot with anger, Moses left Pharaoh’s presence.

Seven days shall ye eat
unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away

leavened bread
from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off
from Israel.

unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the
leaven from your houses.

unleavened bread, until the one and
twentieth day of the month at even.
In the first month you are to eat
unleavened bread,
from the evening of the
fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.

leavened, even that soul shall be cut off
from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

leaven found in your houses. If

It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a
vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.
And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out
from Egypt, out of the house of
bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out
from this place: there shall no
leavened bread be eaten.
So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing
leavened shall be eaten.
Thou shalt therefore keep this
ordinance in his season
from year to year.
Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out
from Egypt,
from the house of
bondage:
In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
And it shall be for a
token upon thine hand, and for
frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
So it shall serve as a sign on your hand and a symbol on your
forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”

sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel
swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you
from this place.”
