1. And יְהוָ֥ה said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

2. And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that יְהוָ֥ה.

3. And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith יְהוָ֥ה Elohim of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let 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 locusts into thy coast:

5. And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue 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; which 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 snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve יְהוָ֥ה their Elohim: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

8. And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve יְהוָ֥ה your Elohim: who they that shall go?

9. And Moses said, We 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 a feast unto יְהוָ֥ה.

10. And he said unto them, Let יְהוָ֥ה be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look; for evil before you.

11. Not so: go now ye men, and serve יְהוָ֥ה; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

12. And יְהוָ֥ה 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, all that the hail hath left.

13. And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and יְהוָ֥ה brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all night; when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
