The Purpose of the Plagues and the Locust Warning

1

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst,

2

and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.'

3

And Moses cometh in--Aaron also--unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me,

4

for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border,

5

and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field;

6

and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father's fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,' --and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh.

7

And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, `Until when doth this one become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?'

8

And Moses is brought back--Aaron also--unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, `Go, serve Jehovah your God; --who and who are those going?'

9

And Moses saith, `With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.'

10

And he saith unto them, `Be it so, Jehovah be with you when I send you and your infants away; see--for evil is before your faces;

11

not so! go now, ye who are men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;' and one casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
