The Plague of Locusts

1 Then the LORD° said° to Moses°, “Go° to Pharaoh°, for aI have Ihardened° his heart° and the heart° of his servants°, that I may IIperform° these° signs° of Mine IIIamong° them, 2 and athat you may tell° in the Ihearing° of your son°, and of your grandson°, how°° I made° a mockery° of the Egyptians° and how° I IIperformed° My signs° among them, bthat you may know° that I am the LORD°.”

3 ¶ Moses° and Aaron° went° to Pharaoh° and said° to him, “Thus° says° the LORD°, the God° of the Hebrews°, ‘How° long°° will you refuse° to ahumble° yourself before°° Me? bLet° My people° go°, that they may serve° Me. 4 For if° you refuse° to let° My people° go°, behold°, tomorrow° I will bring° locusts° into your territory°. 5 They shall cover° the surface° of the land°, so that no° one will be able° to see° the land°. aThey will also eat° the rest° of what° has escaped°—what is left° to you from the hail°—and they will eat° every° tree° which sprouts° for you out of the field°. 6 Then ayour houses° shall be filled° and the houses° of all° your servants° and the houses° of all° the Egyptians°, [something] which° neither° your fathers° nor° your grandfathers° have seen°, from the day° that they Icame° upon the earth° until° this° day°.’” And he turned° and went° out from Pharaoh°. 7 aPharaoh’s° servants° said° to him, “How° long°° will this° man be ba snare° to us? Let° the men° go°, that they may serve° the LORD° their God°. Do you not Irealize° that Egypt° is destroyed°?” 8 So Moses° and Aaron° awere brought° back° to Pharaoh°, and he said° to them, “bGo°, serve° the LORD° your God°! IWho° are the ones that are going°?” 9 Moses° said°, “aWe shall go° with our young° and our old°; with our sons° and our daughters°, bwith our flocks° and our herds° we shall go°, for we Imust hold a feast° to the LORD°.” 10 Then he said° to them, “Thus° may the LORD° be with you, Iif° ever° I let° you and your little° ones° go°! Take° heed°, for evil° is IIin your mind°. 11 Not so°! Go° now°, the men° [among you], and serve° the LORD°, for Ithat is what you desire°.” So athey were driven° out from Pharaoh’s° presence°.

There had never° been° so° [many] IIlocusts°, nor° would there be so° [many] IIIagain°. 15 For they covered° the surface° of the whole° land°, so that the land° was darkened°; and they aate° every° plant° of the land° and all° the fruit° of the trees° that the hail° had left°. Thus nothing°° green° was left° on tree° or plant° of the field° through all° the land° of Egypt°. 16 Then Pharaoh° hurriedly° acalled° for Moses° and Aaron°, and he said°, “bI have sinned° against the LORD° your God° and against you. 17 Now° therefore, please° forgive° my sin° only° this° once°, and amake° supplication° to the LORD° your God°, that He would only° remove° this° death° from me.” 18 aHe went° out from Pharaoh° and made° supplication° to the LORD°. 19 So the LORD° shifted° [the wind] to a very° strong° west° wind° which took° up the locusts° and drove° them into the IRed°° Sea°; not one° locust° was left° in all° the territory° of Egypt°. 20 But athe LORD° Ihardened° Pharaoh’s° heart°, and he did not let° the sons° of Israel° go°.

Darkness over the Land

21 ¶ Then the LORD° said° to Moses°, “aStretch° out your hand° toward° the sky°, that there may be darkness° over° the land° of Egypt°, even a darkness° bwhich may be felt°.” 22 So Moses° stretched° out his hand° toward° the sky°, and there was athick° darkness° in all° the land° of Egypt° for three° days°. 23 They did not see° one° another°, nor° did anyone° rise° from his place° for three° days°, abut all° the sons° of Israel° had° light° in their dwellings°. 24 Then Pharaoh° acalled° to Moses°, and said°, “Go°, serve° the LORD°; only° let your flocks° and your herds° be detained°. Even° byour little° ones° may go° with you.” 25 But Moses° said°, “You must also° Ilet° us have°° sacrifices° and burnt° offerings°, that we may IIsacrifice° [them] to the LORD° our God°. 26 aTherefore, our livestock° too° shall go° with us; not a hoof° shall be left° behind°, for we shall take° some° of them to serve° the LORD° our God°. And until° we arrive° there°, we ourselves° do not know° with what° we shall serve° the LORD°.” 27 But athe LORD° Ihardened° Pharaoh’s° heart°, and he was not willing° to let° them go°. 28 Then Pharaoh° said° to him, “aGet° away° from me!

God threateneth to send locusts.

1 ¶ And the LORDº saidºª unto² Moses,º Go¹ª in² unto² Pharaoh:º for² I² have hardenedºª² his heart,º and the heartº of his servants,º that² I might shewºª these² my signsº beforeº him: 2 And that² thou mayest tellºª in the earsº of thy son,º and of thy son'sº son,º² what things² I have wroughtºª in Egypt,º and my signsº which² I have doneºª among them; that ye may knowºª how that² I² [am] the LORD.º 3 And Mosesº and Aaronº came inºª unto² Pharaoh,º and saidºª unto² him, Thus² saithºª the LORDº Godº of the Hebrews,º How longº² wilt thou refuseºª to humble¹ª thyself² beforeº² me? let my peopleº go,ºª that they may serveºª me. 4 Else,º if² thou² refuseº to let² my peopleº go,ºª behold,² to morrowº will I bringºª the locustsº into thy coast:º 5 And they shall coverºª² the faceº of the earth,º that one cannot² be ableºª to seeºª² the earth:º and they shall eatºª² the residueº of that which is escaped,º which remainethºª unto you from² the hail,º and shall eatºª² every² treeº which growethºª for you out of² the field:º 6 And they shall fillºª thy houses,º and the housesº of all² thy servants,º and the housesº of all² the Egyptians;º which² neither² thy fathers,º nor thy fathers'º fathersº have seen,ºª since the dayº² that they were² upon² the earthº unto² this² day.º And he turnedºª himself, and went outºª from²² Pharaoh.º
