Chapter 7
25
And the seven days were completed after the LORD struck the river.
26
And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD: Send out my people that they may serve me.'"
27
And if you refuse to send them out, behold, I will strike all your borders with frogs.
28
And the river will swarm with frogs, and they will go up and come into your house and into the chamber of your bed and on your bed and into the house of your servants and among your people and in your ovens and in your kneading bowls.
29
And the frogs will come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.
Chapter 8
1
And the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your staff over the River, over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up frogs on the land of Egypt.'"
2
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs went up and covered the land of Egypt.
3
And the Egyptian magicians did the same with their rods, and they brought up frogs onto the land of Egypt.
4
Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray to the LORD, and he will remove the frogs from me and from my people, and I will send the people out and they will sacrifice to the LORD."
5
Moses said to Pharaoh, "Glory over me—until when? Shall I intercede for you and for your servants and for your people to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses? Only in the Nile shall they remain."
6
And he said, "Tomorrow." He said, "According to your word, so that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God."
7
And the frogs will depart from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people; only in the Nile will they remain.
8
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh's presence, and Moses cried out to the LORD concerning the matter of the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh.
9
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died from the houses, from the courtyards, and from the fields.
10
And they gathered them—their frogs, the frogs—and the land stank.
11
Pharaoh saw that the wind had rested, and he made his heart heavy and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had spoken.
12
The LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, and it will become gnats throughout the land of Egypt.'"
13
They did so, and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and gnats came on people and livestock; all the dust of the earth became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
14
And the magicians did so with their staffs to bring out the frogs, but they could not, and the frogs remained in Adam and in livestock.
15
The magicians said to Pharaoh, "It is the finger of God." And Pharaoh's heart was strengthened, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had spoken.
