And Moses {H4872} said {H559} unto Pharaoh {H6547}, Glory {H6286} over me: when {H4970} shall I intreat {H6279} for thee, and for thy servants {H5650}, and for thy people {H5971}, to destroy {H3772} the frogs {H6854} from thee and thy houses {H1004}, that they may remain {H7604} in the river {H2975} only?

Moshe said to Pharaoh, "Not only that, but you can have the honor of naming the time when I will pray for you, your servants and your people to be rid of the frogs, both yourselves and your homes, and that they stay only in the river."
