Exodus 9

    ²But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:

    ³Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.

    ⁴And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.

    ⁵And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.

    ⁶The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there died not one.

    ⁷And Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao's heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

    ⁸And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.

    ⁹And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole land of Egypt.

    ¹⁰And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.

    ¹¹Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.

    ¹²And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.

    ¹³And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.

    ¹⁴For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know there is none like me in all the earth.

    ¹⁵For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.

    ¹⁶And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.

    ¹⁷Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?

    ¹⁸Behold I will cause it to rain to morrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.

    ¹⁹Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, shall die.

    ²⁰He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao's servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:

    ²¹And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.

    ²²And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

    ²⁴And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.

    ²⁵And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.

    ²⁶Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.

    ²⁷And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.

    ²⁸Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here no longer.

    ²⁹Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord's.

    ³⁰But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.

    ³¹The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:

    ³²But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.

    ³³And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.

    ³⁴And Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.

    ³⁵And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.

Exodus 10

    ²And thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord:

    ³Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.

    ⁴But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in to morrow the locust into thy coasts:

    ⁵To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring in the fields.

    ⁶And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen, nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.

    ⁷And Pharao's servants said to him: How long shall we endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou not see that Egypt is undone?

    ⁸And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharao: and he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall go?

    ⁹Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of the Lord our God.

    ¹⁰And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?

    ¹¹It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao's presence.

    ¹²And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour every herb that is left after the hail.

    ¹³And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it was morning, the burning wind raised the locusts:

    ¹⁴And they came up over the whole land of Egypt: and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter.

    ¹⁵And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all Egypt.

    ¹⁶Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.

    ¹⁷But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.

    ¹⁸And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, prayed to the Lord.

    ¹⁹And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.

    ²⁰And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go.

    ²¹And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt.

    ²²And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.

    ²³No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt there was light.

    ²⁴And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your children go with you.

    ²⁵Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, to the Lord our God.

    ²⁶All the flocks shall go with us: there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.

    ²⁷And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he would not let them go.

    ²⁸And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die.

    ²⁹Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not see thy face any more.

Exodus 11

    ²Therefore thou shalt tell all the people that every man ask of his friend, and every woman of her neighbour, vessels of silver, and of gold.

    ³And the Lord will give favour to his people in the sight of the Egyptians. And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharao's servants, and of all the people.

    ⁴And he said: Thus said the Lord: At midnight I will enter into Egypt.

    ⁵And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharao who sitteth on his throne, even to the first born of the handmaid that is at the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.

    ⁶And there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as neither hath been before, nor shall be hereafter.

    ⁷But with all the children of Israel there shall not a dog make the least noise, from man even to beast: that you may know how wonderful a difference the Lord maketh between the Egyptians and Israel.

    ⁸And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and shall worship me, saying: Go forth thou, and all the people that is under thee: after that we will go out.

    ⁹And he went out from Pharao exceeding angry. But the Lord said to Moses: Pharao will not hear you, that many signs may be done in the land of Egypt.

    ¹⁰And Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, before Pharao. And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

²¹And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

    ²²And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.

    ²³Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:

    ²⁴And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.

    ²⁵But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

    ²⁶Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.

    ²⁷But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.

    ²⁸Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.

    ²⁹And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there.

    ³⁰And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:

    ³¹So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

    ³²And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

    ³³And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?

    ³⁴And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.

    ³⁵And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.

    ³⁶And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the people.

    ³⁷And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.

    ³⁸And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.

    ³⁹And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
