KJVAnd they shall cover^H3680^(H8765) the face^H5869 of the earth^H776, that one cannot be able^H3201^(H8799) to see^H7200^(H8800) the earth^H776: and they shall eat^H398^(H8804) the residue^H3499 of that which is escaped^H6413, which remaineth^H7604^(H8737) unto you from the hail^H1259, and shall eat^H398^(H8804) every tree^H6086 which groweth^H6779^(H8802) for you out of the field^H7704:

KJVAnd they shall fill^H4390^(H8804) thy houses^H1004, and the houses^H1004 of all thy servants^H5650, and the houses^H1004 of all the Egyptians^H4714; which neither thy fathers^H1, nor thy fathers^H1' fathers^H1 have seen^H7200^(H8804), since the day^H3117 that they were upon the earth^H127 unto this day^H3117. And he turned^H6437^(H8799) himself, and went out^H3318^(H8799) from Pharaoh^H6547.

⁷ Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”

KJVAnd Pharaoh's^H6547 servants^H5650 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, How long shall this man be a snare^H4170 unto us? let the men^H582 go^H7971^(H8761), that they may serve^H5647^(H8799) the LORD^H3068 their God^H430: knowest^H3045^(H8799) thou not yet^H2962 that Egypt^H4714 is destroyed^H6^(H8804)?

¹⁰ He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799) unto them, Let the LORD^H3068 be so with you, as I will let you go^H7971^(H8762), and your little ones^H2945: look^H7200^(H8798) to it; for evil^H7451 is before^H6440 you.

¹¹ Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!” Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.

KJVNot so: go^H3212^(H8798) now ye that are men^H1397, and serve^H5647^(H8798) the LORD^H3068; for that ye did desire^H1245^(H8764). And they were driven out^H1644^(H8762) from Pharaoh's^H6547 presence^H6440.

¹² Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto Moses^H4872, Stretch out^H5186^(H8798) thine hand^H3027 over the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 for the locusts^H697, that they may come up^H5927^(H8799) upon the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, and eat^H398^(H8799) every herb^H6212 of the land^H776, even all that the hail^H1259 hath left^H7604^(H8689).

¹³ Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

KJVAnd Moses^H4872 stretched forth^H5186^(H8799) his rod^H4294 over the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, and the LORD^H3068 brought^H5090^(H8765) an east^H6921 wind^H7307 upon the land^H776 all that day^H3117, and all that night^H3915; and when it was morning^H1242, the east^H6921 wind^H7307 brought^H5375^(H8804) the locusts^H697.

¹⁴ The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.

KJVAnd the locusts^H697 went up^H5927^(H8799) over all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, and rested^H5117^(H8799) in all the coasts^H1366 of Egypt^H4714: very^H3966 grievous^H3515 were they; before^H6440 them there were no such^H3651 locusts^H697 as they, neither after^H310 them shall be such.

¹⁵ For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

KJVFor they covered^H3680^(H8762) the face^H5869 of the whole earth^H776, so that the land^H776 was darkened^H2821^(H8799); and they did eat^H398^(H8799) every herb^H6212 of the land^H776, and all the fruit^H6529 of the trees^H6086 which the hail^H1259 had left^H3498^(H8689): and there remained^H3498^(H8738) not any green thing^H3418 in the trees^H6086, or in the herbs^H6212 of the field^H7704, through all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

¹⁷ Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”

KJVNow therefore forgive^H5375^(H8798), I pray thee, my sin^H2403 only this once^H6471, and intreat^H6279^(H8685) the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, that he may take away^H5493^(H8686) from me this death^H4194 only.

KJVAnd he went out^H3318^(H8799) from Pharaoh^H6547, and intreated^H6279^(H8799) the LORD^H3068.

¹⁹ Yahweh sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 turned^H2015^(H8799) a mighty^H3966 strong^H2389 west^H3220 wind^H7307, which took away^H5375^(H8799) the locusts^H697, and cast^H8628^(H8799) them into the Red^H5488 sea^H3220; there remained^H7604^(H8738) not one^H259 locust^H697 in all the coasts^H1366 of Egypt^H4714.

²⁰ But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.

KJVBut the LORD^H3068 hardened^H2388^(H8762) Pharaoh's^H6547 heart^H3820, so that he would not let the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 go^H7971^(H8765).

²¹ Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto Moses^H4872, Stretch out^H5186^(H8798) thine hand^H3027 toward heaven^H8064, that there may be darkness^H2822 over the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, even darkness^H2822 which may be felt^H4959^(H8686).

²³ They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

KJVThey saw^H7200^(H8804) not one^H376 another^H251, neither rose^H6965^(H8804) any^H376 from his place for three^H7969 days^H3117: but all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 had light^H216 in their dwellings^H4186.

²⁴ Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 called^H7121^(H8799) unto Moses^H4872, and said^H559^(H8799), Go^H3212^(H8798) ye, serve^H5647^(H8798) the LORD^H3068; only let your flocks^H6629 and your herds^H1241 be stayed^H3322^(H8714): let your little ones^H2945 also go^H3212^(H8799) with you.

²⁵ Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.

KJVAnd Moses^H4872 said^H559^(H8799), Thou must give^H5414^(H8799) us^H3027 also sacrifices^H2077 and burnt offerings^H5930, that we may sacrifice^H6213^(H8804) unto the LORD^H3068 our God^H430.

²⁶ Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there.”

KJVOur cattle^H4735 also shall go^H3212^(H8799) with us; there shall not an hoof^H6541 be left behind^H7604^(H8735); for thereof must we take^H3947^(H8799) to serve^H5647^(H8800) the LORD^H3068 our God^H430; and we know^H3045^(H8799) not with what we must serve^H5647^(H8799) the LORD^H3068, until we come^H935^(H8800) thither.

²⁷ But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.

KJVBut the LORD^H3068 hardened^H2388^(H8762) Pharaoh's^H6547 heart^H3820, and he would^H14^(H8804) not let them go^H7971^(H8763).

²⁸ Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Get^H3212^(H8798) thee from me, take heed^H8104^(H8734) to thyself, see^H7200^(H8800) my face^H6440 no more^H3254^(H8686); for in that day^H3117 thou seest^H7200^(H8800) my face^H6440 thou shalt die^H4191^(H8799).

²⁹ Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”

KJVAnd Moses^H4872 said^H559^(H8799), Thou hast spoken^H1696^(H8765) well^H3651, I will see^H7200^(H8800) thy face^H6440 again^H3254^(H8686) no more.
