Exodus 10

Exodus Chapter 10 KJV

1God threateneth to send locusts. 7Pharaoh at the urgent entreaty of his servants is inclined to let the Israelites go, but at length refuseth. 12The plague of locusts. 16Pharaoh again entreateth Moses, getteth them removed, and is hardened. 21The plague of darkness. 24Pharaoh entreateth Moses again, 27but still is hardened.
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: 1for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
2 And that thou 1mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things 2I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye 3may know how that I am the Lord.
3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, 1How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? 2let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the 1locusts into thy coast:
5 And they shall cover the aface of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the 1residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; 1which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a 1snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is 2destroyed?
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God: but awho are they that shall go?
9 And Moses said, 1We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the Lord.
10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: 1look to it; for evil is before you.
11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord; for that ye did desire. 1And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 ¶ And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an 1east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the 2locusts.
14 And 1the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; 2before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15 For 1they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 ¶ Then Pharaoh acalled for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, 1I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 Now therefore 1forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this 2death only.
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and 1intreated the Lord.
19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and acast them into the 1Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 But 1the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
21 ¶ And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be 1darkness over the land of Egypt, aeven darkness which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a 1thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for 1three days: 2but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 ¶ And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and 1said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only 2let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your 3little ones also go with you.
25 And Moses said, Thou must give aus also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God.
26 Our 1cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; 2and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither.
27 ¶ But the Lord 1hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, 1Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 And Moses 1said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
