catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as hath not been in all the land of Egypt since it hath become a nation.
25 And the hail smiteth in all the land of Egypt all that is in the field, from man even unto beast, and every herb of the field hath the hail smitten, and every tree of the field it hath broken; 26 only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel are, there hath been no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sendeth, and calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith unto them, ‘I have sinned this time, Jehovah is the Righteous, and I and my people are the Wicked, 28 make ye supplication unto Jehovah, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and ye add not to remain.’
29 And Moses saith unto him, ‘At my going out of the city, I spread my palms unto Jehovah—the voices cease, and the hail is not any more, so that thou knowest that the earth is Jehovah’s; 30 but thou and thy servants—I have known that ye are not yet afraid of the face of Jehovah God.’
31 And the flax and the barley have been smitten, for the barley is budding, and the flax forming flowers, and the wheat and the rye have not been smitten, for they are LGC
33 And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, from the city, and spreadeth his hands unto Jehovah, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain hath not been poured out to the earth; 34 and Pharaoh seeth that the rain hath ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continueth to sin, and hardeneth his heart, he and his servants; 35 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not rent the sons of Israel away, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
X. 1 AND Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst, 2 and so that thon recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy sou’s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.’
3 And Moses cometh in—Aaron also—unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, ‘Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thon refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me, 4 for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border, 5 and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field; 6 and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father’s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,’—and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh
7 And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, ‘Until when doth this one become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thon not yet that Egypt hath perished?’
8 And Moses is brought back—Aaron also—unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, “Go, serve Jehovah your God:—who and who are those going?’ 9 And Moses saith, ‘With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah
10 And he saith unto them, ‘Be it so, Jehovah be with you when I send you and your infants away; see—for evil is before your faces; 11 not so! go now, ye who are men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;’ and one casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
12 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land—all that the hail hath left.’
13 And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust.
14 And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt—very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such; 15 and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.’
16 And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, ‘I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you, 17 and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ve supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.’
18 And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah, 19 and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea—there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt; 20 and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.
21 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.’
22 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in al] the land of Egypt three days; 23 they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.’
24 And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, ‘Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants
