23 Then (A)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob (B)sojourned in (C)the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord (D)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
25 He (E)turned their hearts to hate his people,
    to (F)deal craftily with his servants.

26 He (G)sent Moses, his servant,
    and Aaron, (H)whom he had chosen.
27 (I)They performed his signs among them
    and miracles in (J)the land of Ham.
28 He (K)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
    they (L)did not rebel[a] against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood
    and (M)caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
    even in (N)the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came (O)swarms of flies,
    (P)and gnats throughout their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
    and fiery (Q)lightning bolts through their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
    and (R)shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the (S)locusts came,
    young locusts without number,
35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land
    and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He (T)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
    (U)the firstfruits of all their strength.

23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
