10:1 Plague 8: Locusts

10Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Go in to Far’oh because I’ve made him and his servants stubborn in order to be able to demonstrate these miracles of mine among them, 2and so that in the future you’ll be able to tell your descendants that I made Egypt look foolish, and my miracles which I demonstrated among them—and so that you will know that I am Yahweh.”

3So Mosheh and Aharon went in to Far’oh and told him, “This is what Yahweh, God of the Hebrews says: how long before you’ll submit to me? Let my people go so they can serve me, 4because if you refuse to release them, then listen, I’ll bring locusts into your territory tomorrow. 5They’ll cover the ground so that no one will even be able to see it, and they’ll devour whatever remains after the hail. Plus they’ll devour every tree growing in the countryside. 6They’ll fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Egyptians. It’ll be nothing like anything which your parents generation ever saw, nor anything seen by the previous generations from the day they came to be on the earth until today.” Then Mosheh turned around and went out from Far’oh with Aharon.

7Then Far’oh’s servants asked him, “How much longer is this going to cause trouble for us? Let the men go and they’ll worship their God Yahweh. Don’t you understand yet that Egypt is being destroyed?”

8So Mosheh and Aharon were brought back to Far’oh, and he told them, “Go and worship your God Yahweh. Who are the ones who’ll be going?”

9“We’ll take our children and our old folks,” Mosheh answered. “We’ll go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because the festival of Yahweh is for all of us.”

10You’d need Yahweh with you if I ever let you and your children go together,” Far’oh responded. “You’re clearly plotting an evil trick! 11Well that won’t happen! The men may go and worship Yahweh since that’s what you’ve been wanting.” Then he drove them out of the room.

12Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Extend your hand over Egypt and let the locusts rise up over the land, and let them devour all the plants—everything which the hail had spared.” 13So Mosheh stretched his staff out over Egypt, and Yahweh sent an east wind over the land all that day and all night. Then morning came, and the east wind had brought the locusts. 14The locusts covered across all the land of Egypt and came to rest everywhere within the country’s borders. They were extremely numerous—never before were there so many locusts, and it’ll never be repeated again.[ref] 15The cloud of locusts blocked the sun and prevented people from being able to see very far. They devoured all the plants on the land and all of the fruit on the trees that the hail had left, and no piece of greenery remained on any tree or plant in the entire Egyptian countryside.

16Far’oh quickly summoned Mosheh and Aharon and said, “I’ve sinned against your God Yahweh and against you. 17So now just this once, please overlook my sin and pray to your God Yahweh and just let him take this deathly plague away from me.” 18So Mosheh left Far’oh and went out and prayed to Yahweh, 19and Yahweh caused a very strong sea wind. The wind carried away the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea—not a single locust remained anywhere in Egyptian territory. 20But Yahweh caused Far’oh to remain stubborn and he wouldn’t release the Israelis.

10and_he/it_said YHWH to Mosheh go to Farˊoh if/because I I_have_made_unresponsive DOM his/its_heart and_DOM the_heart officials_his so_as perform_I signs_mine these in/on/at/with_midst_them.

10:21 Plague 9: Darkness

21Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Raise your hand up toward the sky and let it become dark over all Egypt—darkness that can be felt.” 22So Mosheh stretched his hand out towards the sky, and a thick darkness was in all Egypt for three days.[ref] 23No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one was able to go anywhere, yet there was light in the region where the Israelis lived.

24Then Far’oh summoned Mosheh and told him, “Go serve Yahweh. Your children can go with you all, but your flocks and your herds must remain behind.”

25“On top of that,” Mosheh responded, “you must also give us the sacrifices and offerings to be burnt when we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God. 26And even our livestock needs to go with us. Not a hoof will be left behind because we’ll choose from them to serve Yahweh our God. You see, we won’t know what we must sacrifice to Yahweh until we arrive there.”

27But Yahweh caused Far’oh to strengthen his resolve and he wouldn’t agree to let them go. 28“Get out of here!” Far’oh shouted. “And watch yourself! You’ll never see me again, because if I ever see you again, I’ll have you executed!”

29Yes,Mosheh responded. “It’s just as you say: I’ll never see you again!”


21and_he/it_said YHWH to Mosheh stretch_out hand_your to the_heavens and_let_it_be darkness over the_land of_Miʦrayim and_felt darkness.
22And_stretched_out Mosheh DOM his/its_hand to the_heavens and_he/it_was darkness of_gloom in_all the_land of_Miʦrayim three days.
23Not they_saw each DOM his/its_woman and_not they_rose anyone from_place_his three days and_to/for_all the_people Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) it_belonged light in/on/at/with_where_lived_they.
24And_he/it_called Farˊoh (to) Mosheh and_he/it_said go serve DOM YHWH only flocks_your_all’s and_herds_your_all’s it_will_be_detained also little_ones_your_all’s it_will_go with_you_all.
25And_he/it_said Mosheh also you you_will_give in/on/at/with_hand_us sacrifices and_burnt_offerings and_sacrifice to/for_YHWH god_our.
26And_also livestock_our it_will_go with_us not it_will_remain a_hoof if/because from_him/it we_will_take to_serve DOM YHWH god_our and_we not we_will_know what will_we_serve DOM YHWH until arrive_we there_to.
27And_hardened YHWH DOM the_heart of_Farˊoh and_not he_was_willing to_let_go_them.
28And_he/it_said to_him/it Farˊoh go from_me take_heed to/for_yourself(m) to you_will_repeat to_see face_my if/because in/on_day see_you face_my you_will_die.
29And_he/it_said Mosheh right you_have_spoken not I_will_repeat again to_see face_your.
