9 And Mofes faid unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when fhall I intreat for thee, and for thy Servants, and for thy People, to destroy the FROGS from thee, and thy Houses, that they may remain in the River only?

10 And he faid, To-morrow. And he faid, Be it according to thy Word: that thou mayeft know, that there is none LIKE unto the LORD our God.

11 And the FROGS fhall depart from thee, and from thy Houses, and from thy Servants, and from thy People; they shall remain in the River only.

12 And Mofes and Aaron went out from Pharaoh and Mofes CRIED unto the LORD, because of the Frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

13 And the LORD did according to the Word of Mofes : and the Frogs died out of the Houfes, out of the Villages, and out of the Fields.

14 And they gathered them together upon Heaps: and the Land stank.

15 But when Pharaoh faw that there was RESPITE, hẹ hardened his Heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had faid.

16 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy Rod, and fmite the DUST of the Land, that it may become LICE thoughout all the Land of Egypt.

17 And they did fo; for Aaron ftretched out his Hand with his ROD, and fmote the DUST of the Earth, and it became LICE, in Man and in Beaft: all the Duft of the Land became Lice throughout all the Land of Egypt.

18 And the Magicians did fo with their Inchantments to bring forth Lice, but they could not fo there were LICE upon Man, and upon Beaft.

19 Then the Magicians faid unto Pharaoh, This is the FINGER OF GOD: and Pharaoh's Heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

20 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Rife up early in the Morning, and ftand before Pharaoh, (lo, he cometh forth to the Water) and say unto him, Thus faith the LORD, Let my People go, that they may ferve me.

21 Elfe if thou wilt not let my People go, behold, I will fend Swarms of FLIES upon thee, and upon thy Servants, and upon thy People, and into thy Houfes and the Houses of the Egyptians fhall be full of Swarms of FLIES, and alfo the Ground whereon they are.

22 And I will fever in that Day the Land of GOSHEN, in which my People dwell, that no Swarms of FLIES fhall be there; to the End thou mayet know, that I AM the LORD in the Midst of the EARTH.

23 And I will put a Divifion between my People and thy People To-morrow fhall this Sign be.

24 And the LORD did fo: and there came a grievous Swarm of FLIES into the House of Pharaoh, and into his Servants Houses, and into all the Land of Egypt: the Land was corrupted by reafon of the Swarms of FLIES.

25 And Pharaoh called for Mofes, and for Aaron, and faid, Go ye, facrifice to your GOD in the Land.

26 And Mofes faid, It is not meet fo to do; for we fhall facrifice the Abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our GOD: Lo, fhall we facrifice the Abomination of the Egyptians before their Eyes, and will they not ftone us?

27 We will go three Days Journey into the Wilderness, and facrifice to the LORD our GOD, as he fhall COMMAND

us.

28 And Pharaoh faid, I will let you go, that ye may facrifice to the LORD your GOD in the Wilderness; only you fhall not go very far away: intreat for me.

29 And Mofes faid, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD, that the Swarms of Flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his Servants, and from his People, Tomorrow but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more, in not letting the People go to facrifice to the LORD.

30 And Mofes went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.

31 And the LORD did according to the Word of Mofes ; and he removed the Swarms of FLIES from Pharaoh, from his Servants, and from his People: there remained not one.

32 And Pharaoh HARDENED his HEART at this Time alfo, neither would he let the People go.

2 For

2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them ftill,

3 Behold, the Hand of the LORD is upon thy CATTLE which is in the Field, upon the HORSES, upon the ASSES, upon the CAMELS, upon the OXEN, and upon the SHEEP: there shall be a very grievous Murrain.

4 And the LORD fhall fever between the Cattle of Ifrael, and the Cattle of Egypt: and there fhall nothing die of all that is the Childrens of Ifrael.

5. And the LORD appointed a fet Time, faying, Tomorrow the LORD fhall do this Thing in the Land.

6 And the LORD did that Thing on the Morrow, and all the CATTLE of Egypt died: but of the CATTLE of the Children of Ifrael died not one.

7 And Pharaoh fent, and behold, there was not one of the Cattle of the Ifraelites dead. And the Heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the People go.

8 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, and unto Aaron, Take to you Handfuls of Ashes of the Furnace, and let Mofes fprinkle it towards the Heaven in the Sight of Pharaoh.

9 And it fhall become fmall Duft in all the Land of Egypt, and shall be a BOYL breaking forth with Blains. upon Man, and upon Beaft, throughout all the Land of Egypt.

10 And they took ASHES of the Furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Mofes fprinkled it up toward Heaven : and it became a Boyl breaking forth with Blains upon Man and upon Beast.

11 And the Magicians could not STAND before Mofes, because of the BOYL: for the Boyl was upon the Magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

12 And the LORD hardened the Heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had fpoken unto Moses.

13 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Rife up early in the Morning, and ftand before Pharaoh, and fay unto him, Thus faith the LORD GOD of the Hebrews, Let my People go, that they may serve me.

14 For I will at this Time fend all my PLAGUES upon thine HEART, and upon thy Servants, and upon thy People: that thou mayest know that there is none LIKE me in all the EARTH.

15 For now I will ftretch out my Hand, that I may

fmite thee and thy People with PESTILENCE, and thou fhalt be cut off from the Earth.

16 And in very Deed for this Cause have I RAISED thee up, for to SHEW in thee my POWER; and that my NAME may be DECLARED throughout all the EARTH.

* Rom. ix. 17 The SCRIPTURE faith unto Pharaoh, Even for this fame

PURPOSE, have I RAISED thee up, that I might SHEW my POWER in thee, and that my NAME may be DECLARED throughout all the EARTH.

18 Therefore hath he MERCY on whom he will have MERCY, and whom he will he HARDENETH,

17 As yet exaltest thou thyfelf against my People, that thou wilt not let them go? 18 Behold, To-morrow about this Time, I will cause it to rain a very grievous HAIL, fuch as hath not been in Egypt, fince the Foundation thereof, even until now.

19 Send therefore now, and gather thy Cattle, and all that thou haft in the Field: for upon every Man and Beast which fhall be found in the Field, and fhall not be brought home, the HAIL fhall come down upon them, and they fhall die.

20 He that FEARED the WORD of the LORD among the Servants of Pharaoh, made his Servants and his Cattle flee into the Houses.

21 And he that REGARDED NOT the WORD of the LORD, left his Servants and his Cattle in the Field.

22 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Stretch forth thine Hand toward Heaven, that there may be Hail in all the Land of Egypt; upon Man and upon Beaft, and upon every Herb of the Field, throughout the Land of Egypt.

23 And Mofes ftretched forth his Rod toward Heaven, and the LORD fent THUNDER and HAIL, and the FIRE ran along upon the Ground; and the LORD rained HAIL upon the Land of Egypt.

24 So there was HAIL, and FIRE mingled with the HAIL, very grievous, fuch as there was none like it in all the Land of Egypt, fince it became a Nation.

26 Only in the Land of GOSHEN, where the Children of Ifrael were, was there No HAIL.

27 And Pharaoh fent, and called for Mofes and Aaron, and faid unto them, I have finned this Time: the LORD is RIGHTEOUS, and I and my People are WICKED.

28 INTREAT the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty THUNDERINGS and HAIL; and I will let you Go, and ye fhall ftay no longer.

29 And Mofes faid unto him, As foon as I am gone out of the City, I will SPREAD abroad my Hands unto the LORD and the THUNDER fhall cease, neither shall there be any more HAIL; that thou mayeft KNOW how that the EARTH is the LORD's.

30 But as for thee, and thy Servants, I KNOW that ye will not yet FEAR the LORD GOD.

33 And Mofes went out of the City from Pharaoh, and fpread abroad his Hands unto the LORD: and the THUNDERS and HAIL ceafed, and the Rain was not poured upor the Earth.

34 And when Pharaoh faw that the Rain, and the HAIL, and the THUNDERS were CEASED, he finned yet more and HARDENED his Heart, he and his Servants.

ND the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go in unto Pharaoh for I have hardened his Heart, and the Heart of his Servants; that I might fhew these my SIGNS before him.

2 And that thou mayeft tell in the Ears of thy Son, and of thy Son's Son, what Things I have wrought in Egypt, and my SIGNS which I have done amongst them; that ye may KNOW how that I AM the LORD.

3 And Mofes and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus faith the LORD GOD of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou REFUSE to HUMBLE thyfelf before me? Let my People go, that they may serve me.

4 Elfe if thou refufe to let my People go, behold, Tomorrow will I bring the LocuSTS into thy Coast.

5 And they fhall cover the Face of the Earth, that one cannot be able to fee the Earth: and they fhall eat the Refidue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the HAIL.

6 And they shall fill thy Houfes, and the Houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy Fathers, nor thy Fathers Fathers have feen, fince the Day that they were upon the Earth, unto this Day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh,
