chapter 10
1
And
the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the
heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs in him.
2 And thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of
they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs
amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord:
3 Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said
to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to
submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
4 But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold
I will bring in to morrow the locust into thy coasts:
5 To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof
may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed
upon all the trees that spring in the fields.
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy
servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen,
nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this
present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.
7 And Pharao's servants said to him: How long shall we
endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost
thou not see that Egypt is undone?
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharao: and
he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall
go?
9 Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with
our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of
the Lord our God.
10 And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I
shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some
great evil?
11 It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and
sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they
were cast out from Pharao's presence.
12 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand
upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour
every herb that is left after the hail.
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of
Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it
was morning, the burning wind raised the locusts:
14 And they came up over the whole land of Egypt: and
rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been
before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
15 And they covered the whole face of the earth,
wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits
soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any
thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all Egypt.
16 Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron,
and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray
to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.
18 And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao,
prayed to the Lord.
19 And he made a very strong wind to blow from the
west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained
not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he
let the children of Israel go.
21 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand
towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that
it may be felt.
22 And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and
there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the
place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt there was
light.
24 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them:
Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your
children go with you.
25 Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and
burnt offerings, to the Lord our God.
26 All the flocks shall go with us: there shall not a
hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our
God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very
place.
27 And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he would
not let them go.
28 And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and
beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my
sight, thou shalt die.
29 Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken,
I will not see thy face any more.
