Dense swarms of flies came into Pharaoh's palace and into the houses of his officials. All over Egypt the flies ruined everything. Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron. He said: Go, sacrifice to your God here in this country. Moses replied: It is not right to do that. The sacrifices we offer to Jehovah our God are disgusting to Egyptians. If they see us offer sacrifices that they consider disgusting, will they not stone us to death? We need to travel three days into the desert to offer sacrifices to Jehovah our God, as he told us to do. Pharaoh said: I will let you go, but do not go far. You may offer sacrifices to Jehovah your God in the desert and pray for me. Moses answered: As soon as I leave you, I will pray to Jehovah. Tomorrow the swarms of flies will go away from you, your officials, and your people. But you must stop tricking us by not letting the people go to offer sacrifices to Jehovah.

The Israelites would break camp or set up camp at Jehovah's command. They stayed at the place where the column of smoke stayed over the tent. When the smoke stayed over the tent for a long time, the Israelites obeyed Jehovah's command and did not break camp.

Moses said to Aaron: Take your incense burner, put burning coals from the altar and incense in it, and go quickly into the congregation to make peace with Jehovah for the people. Jehovah shows his anger! A plague has started. Aaron took his incense burner, as Moses told him. He ran into the middle of the assembly, because the plague had already begun among the people. He put incense on the incense burner to make peace with Jehovah for the people. read more. He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive. The plague stopped.

Joshua spoke to Jehovah the day when Jehovah delivered the Amorites to the children of Israel. He said in sight of Israel: Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; and Moon, stand still in the valley of Ajalon.
