8:1 (7:26)
And YEHOVAH (יהוה) spoke to Mosheh:
Go to Paroh, and say to him,
Thus says YEHOVAH (יהוה),
Let my people go, that they may serve Me.
8:2(7:27) And if you refuse to let [them] go, Hinnei, I will smite all your borders with frogs:
8:3 (7:28) And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the house your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens (爐灶), and into your kneading bowls (摶麵盆):
8:4(7:29) And the frogs shall come up both on you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.
8:5(8:1) And YEHOVAH (יהוה) spoke to Mosheh:
Say to Aharon, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Mitzrayim.
8:6(8:2) And Aharon stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitzrayim; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Mitzrayim.
8:7(8:3) And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Mitzrayim.
8:8(8:4) Then Paroh called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, Intreat YEHOVAH (יהוה), that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice to YEHOVAH (יהוה).
8:9(8:5) And Mosheh said to Paroh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, [that] they may remain in the river only?
8:10(8:6) And he said, To morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to your word: that you mayest know that [there is] none like to YEHOVAH (יהוה) Eloheinu.

And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.
8:12(8:8) And Mosheh and Aharon went out from Paroh: and Mosheh cried to YEHOVAH (יהוה) because of the frogs which he had brought against Paroh.
8:13(8:9) And YEHOVAH (יהוה) did according to the word of Mosheh; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
8:14(8:10) And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
8:15(8:11) But when Paroh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them; as YEHOVAH (יהוה) had said.
8:16(8:12) And YEHOVAH (יהוה) said to Mosheh, Say to Aharon, Stretch out your rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Mitzrayim.
8:17(8:13) And they did so; for Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Mitzrayim.
8:18(8:14) And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
8:19(8:15) Then the magicians said to Paroh, This [is] the finger of Elohim: and Paroh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not to them; as YEHOVAH (יהוה) had said.
8:20(8:16)
And YEHOVAH (יהוה) said to Mosheh:
Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Paroh; behold, he cometh forth to the water; and say to him,
Thus says YEHOVAH (יהוה),
"Let My people go, that they may serve Me. "
8:21(8:17) Else, if you wilt not let My people go, Hinnei, I will send swarms [of flies] upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Mitzrites shall be full of swarms [of flies], and also the ground whereon they [are].
8:22(8:18) And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end you mayest know that ANI YEHOVAH (יהוה) in the midst of the earth.

And I will put a division between My people and your people: to morrow shall this sign be.
8:24(8:20) And YEHOVAH (יהוה) did so; and there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the beit Paroh, and [into] his servants' houses, and into all the land of Mitzrayim: the land was corrupted by reason the swarm [of flies].
8:25(8:21) And Paroh called for Mosheh and for Aharon, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to Eloheichem in the land.
8:26(8:22) And Mosheh said:
It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Mitzrites to YEHOVAH (יהוה) Eloheinu: behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Mitzrites before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
8:27(8:23) We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to YEHOVAH (יהוה) Eloheinu, as he shall command us.
8:28(8:24) And Paroh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to YEHOVAH (יהוה) Eloheichem in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
8:29(8:25) And Mosheh said, Hinnei, I go out from you, and I will intreat YEHOVAH (יהוה) that the swarms [of flies] may depart from Paroh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Paroh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to YEHOVAH (יהוה).
8:30(8:26) And Mosheh went out from Paroh, and intreated YEHOVAH (יהוה).
8:31(8:27) And YEHOVAH (יהוה) did according to the word of Mosheh; and he removed the swarms [of flies] from Paroh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
8:32(8:28) And Paroh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
