They will swarm out of the Nile, and they will enter your palace and get into your bedroom and jump onto your bed. They will get into the houses of your officials and jump around your people—even into your ovens and breadmaking bowls.

Frogs will jump all over you, your people, and all your officials.’”

So Aaron held out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land.

But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. They brought up frogs in Egypt.

Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and pleaded with them, “Pray to the Lord, and ask him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let your people go so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord.”

9 and to say Moses to/for Pharaoh to beautify upon me to/for how to pray to/for you and to/for servant/slave your and to/for people your to/for to cut: eliminate [the] frog from you and from house: home your except in/on/with Nile to remain

“You may have the honor of deciding when I'll pray for you, your officials, and your people that the frogs will be removed from you and your houses. They will remain only in the Nile.”

10 and to say to/for tomorrow and to say like/as word: speaking your because to know for nothing like/as LORD God our

“Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh replied. Moses said, “It will happen as you have requested so you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.

11 and to turn aside: depart [the] frog from you and from house: home your and from servant/slave your and from people your except in/on/with Nile to remain

Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses pleaded with the Lord about the frogs he had sent against Pharaoh.

13 and to make: do LORD like/as word Moses and to die [the] frog from [the] house: home from [the] court and from [the] land: country

The Lord did as Moses asked. The frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.

14 and to heap [obj] them heap heap and to stink [the] land: country/planet

The people collected them in pile upon pile, and the whole country smelled terrible.

15 and to see: see Pharaoh for to be [the] relief and to honor: heavy [obj] heart his and not to hear: hear to(wards) them like/as as which to speak: speak LORD

But when Pharaoh realized the plague had passed he chose to become hard and stubborn again, wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.

“This is an act of God,” the magicians told Pharaoh. But Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted, and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.

21 that if: except if: except nothing you to send: let go [obj] people my look! I to send: depart in/on/with you and in/on/with servant/slave your and in/on/with people your and in/on/with house: home your [obj] [the] swarm and to fill house: home Egyptian [obj] [the] swarm and also [the] land: soil which they(masc.) upon her

However, on this occasion I will treat the land of Goshen differently—that's where my people live—there won't be any swarms of flies there. This is how you will know that I, the Lord, am here in your country.

23 and to set: put redemption between people my and between people your to/for tomorrow to be [the] sign: miraculous [the] this

26 and to say Moses not to establish: right to/for to make: do so for abomination Egypt to sacrifice to/for LORD God our look! to sacrifice [obj] abomination Egypt to/for eye: before(the eyes) their and not to stone us

“No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do,” Moses replied. “The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would be offensive to Egyptians. If we went ahead and offered sacrifices offensive to Egyptians, they'd stone us!

27 way: journey three day to go: went in/on/with wilderness and to sacrifice to/for LORD God our like/as as which to say to(wards) us

We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and offer sacrifices there to the Lord our God as he has told us.”

28 and to say Pharaoh I to send: let go [obj] you and to sacrifice to/for LORD God your in/on/with wilderness except to remove not to remove to/for to go: went to pray about/through/for me

“I'll let you go and offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the desert, but don't go very far,” Pharaoh answered. “Now pray for me that this plague ends.”

29 and to say Moses behold I to come out: come from from with you and to pray to(wards) LORD and to turn aside: depart [the] swarm from Pharaoh from servant/slave his and from people his tomorrow except not to add: again Pharaoh to deceive to/for lest to send: let go [obj] [the] people to/for to sacrifice to/for LORD

“As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the Lord,” Moses replied, “and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh should be sure not to be deceitful again and refuse to let the people go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.”

30 and to come out: come Moses from from with Pharaoh and to pray to(wards) LORD

Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord,

31 and to make: do LORD like/as word Moses and to turn aside: remove [the] swarm from Pharaoh from servant/slave his and from people his not to remain one

and the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. Not a single fly remained.

But once again Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted and would not let the people leave.
