10 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the king again. I have made him and his officials stubborn. I have done so in order that I may have a good reason to do all these miracles among them. 2 I have also done so in order that you would be able to tell your children and your grandchildren how I caused the Egyptians to act very foolishly when I performed all these miracles among them. Then all of you will know that I am Yahweh.”
3 So Moses and Aaron went to the king and said to him, “Yahweh God, the one whom we Hebrews worship, says this, ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to bow to me? Let my people go in order that they may worship me in the wilderness! 4 If you do not let them go, I warn you that tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country. 5 They will completely cover the ground so that you will not even be able to see it. They will eat everything that the ice storm did not destroy. They will eat everything that is growing on your fruit trees. 6 They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and of all the rest of the Egyptians. There will be more locusts than your parents or your grandparents have ever seen from the time your ancestors first came to this land until now!’” Then Moses and Aaron turned and left the king.
7 The king’s officials said to him, “This is another trap for us! Let the Israelites go in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. You must know that our country is already ruined.”
8 The king ordered someone to bring Moses and Aaron back to him. He said to them, “Go worship Yahweh, your god. But who will go?”
9 Moses replied, “We all need to go, everyone, including those who are young and those who are old. We need to take our sons, our daughters, and our flocks of sheep and goats and herds of livestock because a celebration to honor Yahweh is for all of us.”
10 The king replied, “I am not about to let you go with your women and children because I do not think Yahweh is about to help you. Watch out so that something bad does not happen to you! 11 Since you keep asking, go worship Yahweh with just your men. But no one else may go!” Then the king drove Moses and Aaron away.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over Egypt and locusts will come up and cover the country. They will eat every green thing in the whole country, anything that the hail left behind.”
13 So Moses held out his staff as though he were stretching it over the country of Egypt. Then Yahweh caused a wind to blow from the east, and it blew over the land all that day and all that night. By the next morning, it had brought the locusts. 14 The locusts came up all over Egypt. They landed everywhere in the whole country. There had never been anything like this huge number of locusts, and there will never be anything like it again. 15 They covered the surface of the ground and made it appear black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that the ice storm had not destroyed. They left nothing that was green on any tree or on any plant anywhere in Egypt.
16 The king quickly called Aaron and Moses and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you. 17 Can you forgive me right now for having sinned this one time? Please pray to Yahweh, your god. Just ask him to take away the locusts that will cause us all to die.”
18 So Moses and Aaron left the king, and Moses prayed to Yahweh. 19 Then Yahweh changed the wind so that it blew strongly from the west, and it picked up and forced all the locusts into the Red Sea. There were no locusts left anywhere in the country of Egypt. 20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn again, and the king did not let the Israelites go.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach your hand up toward the sky so that it may be dark over all the land of Egypt, so dark that it will seem like people can feel it.” 22 So Moses reached his hand toward the sky, and it became extremely dark all over Egypt for three days and nights. 23 No one could see anyone else. No one went anywhere for three days. But there was light in the area where the Israelites lived.
24 The king called Moses and said, “All right, you may go and worship Yahweh. Your women and your children may go with you. But your flocks of sheep and goats and your herds of cattle must remain here.”
25 But Moses replied, “No, you must also let us take our sacrifices and burnt offerings to offer to Yahweh, our God. 26 Our domesticated animals must also go with us. We are not going to leave one animal behind because we must take them to worship Yahweh, the God we worship. We will not know what we will need for worshiping Yahweh until we get to where we are going.”
27 But Yahweh made the king continue to be stubborn. The king would not allow the Israelites to go. 28 The king said to Moses and Aaron, “Get out of here! Make sure that you never come to see me again! The day you see me again, I will have someone kill you!”
29 Moses replied, “You are correct! I will never see you again!”
