The Second Plague: Frogs
1
And the LORD spoke to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD: "Let My people go, a that they may serve Me.
2
"But if you b refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with c frogs.
3
"So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your d bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
4
"And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants." ' "
5
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Say to Aaron, e 'Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.' "
6
So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and f the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7
g And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, h "Entreat the LORD that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people i go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
9
And Moses said to Pharaoh, "Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only."
10
So he said, "Tomorrow." And he said, "Let it be according to your word, that you may know that j there is no one like the LORD our God.
11
"And the frogs shall depart from you, from your houses, from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."
12
Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses k cried out to the LORD concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh.
13
So the LORD did according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields.
14
They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was l relief, m he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the LORD had said.
