Exodus 8:1-15 - Plague Two: Frogs
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, - then shalt thou say unto him - Thus, saith Yahweh, - Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs; 3 so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, - and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs: 4 both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.
5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron - Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, - and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt. 6 So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, - and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, - and brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
8 Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said - Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, - and I must lot the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh - Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, - only in the river, shall they remain?
10 And he said - For to-morrow. And he said - According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God: 11 so the frogs shall depart - from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, - only in the river, shall they remain. 12 Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, - and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh. 13 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, - and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields; 14 and they piled them up, heaps - heaps, - and the land became loathsome. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, - as spake Yahweh.
