여덟째 재앙 – 메뚜기떼

10 그때 여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하셨다. “너는 다시 바로에게 가거라. 내 가 그와 그의 신하들을 완고하게 한 것은 그들 가운데 내가 이런 기적들을 행하여

네가 네 자녀들과 손자들에게 내가 어떻게 이집트 사람들을 벌하고 그들 가운데 기적을 보였는지 말할 수 있게 하며 또 내가 여호와임을 너희가 다 알도록 하기 위해서이다.”

그래서 모세와 아론은 바로에게 가서 말하였다. “히브리 사람의 하나님 여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하십니다. ‘네가 언제까지 나에게 복종하지 않겠느냐? 내 백성을 보내 그들이 나를 섬길 수 있게 하라.

네가 만일 계속 거절한다면 내가 내일 메뚜기떼가 네 나라에 들어가게 하겠다.

메뚜기가 온 지면을 덮어 사람이 땅을 볼 수 없을 것이다. 메뚜기가 우박의 피해를 입지 않은 모든 것을 먹고 들에서 자라는 모든 나무를 먹을 것이며

또 네 궁전과 네 신하와 백성들의 모든 집이 메뚜기로 가득할 것이니 네 조상들이 세상에서 아직 보지 못한 것들이다.’ ” 그러고서 모세는 바로 앞에서 나왔다.

그때 바로의 신하들이 바로에게 “언제까지 이 사람이 우리에게 함정이 되어야 합니까? 이스라엘 자손들을 보내 그들의 하나님 여호와를 섬길 수 있게 하십시오. 왕은 아직도 이집트가 망한 줄을 모르십니까?” 하고

모세와 아론을 바로에게 다시 데려갔다. 그러자 왕은 그들에게 “가서 너희 하나님 여호와를 섬겨라. 그런데 갈 사람은 누구누구냐?” 하고 물었다.

그때 모세가 “우리는 여호와께 명절을 지켜야 하므로 남자 여자 어른 아이 할 것 없이 다 가야 하며 소와 양도 끌고 가야 합니다” 하고 대답하자

10 바로가 이렇게 말하였다. “내가 결코 너희 여자들과 자녀들을 함께 보내지 않겠다. 너희가 악한 음모를 꾸미고 있는 것이 틀림없다.

11 절대로 안 된다. 너희 남자만 가서 여호와를 섬겨라. 이것이 너희가 요구한 것이다.” 그러고서 모세와 아론은 바로 앞에서 쫓겨났다.

12 그때 여호와께서 모세에게 “네 손을 이집트 땅 위에 뻗쳐라. 그래서 메뚜기떼가 몰려와 우박의 피해를 입지 않고 남아 있는 밭의 모든 것을 먹게 하라” 하고 말씀하셨다.

13 모세가 이집트 땅 위에 그의 지팡이를 뻗치자 여호와께서 동풍을 일으켜 그 날 온 낮과 밤에 바람이 불게 하셨다. 그래서 동풍이 아침에 메뚜기떼를 몰고 왔다.

14 메뚜기가 이집트 전역을 완전히 덮어 그 피해가 막심하였다. 이런 메뚜기떼는 전에 한 번도 본 적이 없었고 앞으로도 볼 수 없는 것들이었다.

15 그 메뚜기떼가 온 땅을 새까맣게 뒤덮어 우박의 피해를 입지 않은 밭의 채소나 나무 열매를 모조리 먹었으므로 이집트 전역에 나무나 밭의 채소와 같은 푸른 것은 하나도 남지 않았다.

16 그러자 바로가 모세와 아론을 급히 불러 말하였다. “내가 너희 하나님 여호와와 너희에게 범죄하였다.

17 아무쪼록 내 죄를 이번만 용서하고 너희 하나님 여호와께 기도하여 이 [a]치명적인 재앙을 내게서 떠나게 하라.”

18 그래서 모세가 바로를 떠나 여호와께 기도하자

19 여호와께서 동풍을 강한 서풍으로 돌변시켜 메뚜기떼를 [b]홍해에 몰아 넣으셨다. 그래서 이집트 땅에는 메뚜기가 한 마리도 남지 않았다.

20 그러나 여호와께서 바로를 완고하게 하셨으므로 그가 이스라엘 자손을 보내지 않았다.

아홉째 재앙 – 흑암

21 그때 여호와께서 모세에게 “너는 하늘을 향해 손을 들어 이집트 전역에 짙은 흑암이 있게 하라” 하고 말씀하셨다.

22 그래서 모세가 하늘을 향해 손을 들자 아주 캄캄한 흑암이 3일 동안 이집트 전역을 뒤덮었다.

23 그 기간 동안 이집트 사람들은 서로 알아볼 수도 없었고 자기 자리에서 일어나는 사람도 없었다. 그러나 이스라엘 자손들이 사는 곳에는 빛이 있었다.

24 그러자 바로가 모세를 불러 “너희는 가서 여호와를 섬겨라. 그러나 너희 양과 소는 남겨 두고 너희 자녀들만 데리고 가야 한다” 하고 말하였다.

25 그래서 모세가 이렇게 대답하였다. “왕은 우리 하나님 여호와께 드릴 희생제물과 불로 태워 바칠 번제물을 우리에게 주셔야 합니다.

26 우리 짐승은 한 마리도 남겨 두지 않고 가져가겠습니다. 우리는 그 중에서 우리 하나님 여호와께 드릴 제물을 선택해야 하며 또 우리가 거기 갈 때까지는 어떤 짐승을 여호와께 바쳐야 할지 모릅니다.”

27 그러나 여호와께서 바로를 완고하게 하셨으므로 그가 이스라엘 자손을 보내지 않고

28 모세에게 “너는 나를 떠나고 다시는 내 앞에 나타나지 말아라. 만일 네가 내 앞에 다시 나타나는 날에는 죽음을 면치 못할 것이다” 하였다.

29 그러자 모세가 “좋습니다. 내가 다시는 왕 앞에 나타나지 않겠습니다” 하고 대답하였다.

The Eighth Plague: Locusts(A)

10 Now the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh; (B)for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, (C)that I may show these signs of Mine before him, and that (D)you may tell in the hearing of your son and your son’s son the mighty things I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them, that you may (E)know that I am the Lord.”

So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to (F)humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may (G)serve Me. Or else, if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring (H)locusts into your territory. And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the earth; and (I)they shall eat the residue of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field. They shall (J)fill your houses, the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians—which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

Then Pharaoh’s (K)servants said to him, “How long shall this man be (L)a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”

So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. Who are the ones that are going?”

And Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for (M)we must hold a feast to the Lord.”

10 Then he said to them, “The Lord had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you. 11 Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven (N)out from Pharaoh’s presence.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, (O)“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and (P)eat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.” 13 So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And (Q)the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; (R)previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them. 15 For they (S)covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they (T)ate every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.

16 Then Pharaoh called (U)for Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, (V)“I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you. 17 Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and (W)entreat[a] the Lord your God, that He may take away from me this death only.” 18 So he (X)went out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them (Y)into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt. 20 But the Lord (Z)hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

The Ninth Plague: Darkness

21 Then the Lord said to Moses, (AA)“Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, [b]darkness which may even be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was (AB)thick darkness in all the land of Egypt (AC)three days. 23 They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. (AD)But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

24 Then Pharaoh called to Moses and (AE)said, “Go, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept back. Let your (AF)little ones also go with you.”

25 But Moses said, “You must also give [c]us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. 26 Our (AG)livestock also shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind. For we must take some of them to serve the Lord our God, and even we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.”

27 But the Lord (AH)hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go. 28 Then Pharaoh said to him, (AI)“Get away from me! Take heed to yourself and see my face no more! For in the day you see my face you shall die!”

29 So Moses said, “You have spoken well. (AJ)I will never see your face again.”

The Eighth Plague: Locusts

10 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these signs of mine among them, and (A)that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done among them, (B)that you may know that I am the Lord.”

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you refuse to (C)humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring (D)locusts into your country, and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land. And they shall (E)eat what is left to you after the hail, and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field, and they shall fill (F)your houses and the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day they came on earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

Then Pharaoh's servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?” So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, (G)“Go, serve the Lord your God. But which ones are to go?” Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for (H)we must hold a feast to the Lord.” 10 But he said to them, “The Lord be with you, if ever I let you and your (I)little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.[a] 11 No! Go, the men among you, and serve the Lord, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, (J)“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and (K)eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.” 13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts. 14 (L)The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, (M)such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again. 15 They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and (N)they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 16 Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, (O)“I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and (P)plead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me.” 18 So (Q)he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them (R)into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt. 20 But the Lord (S)hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go.

The Ninth Plague: Darkness

21 Then the Lord said to Moses, (T)“Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be (U)darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. 23 They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but (V)all the people of Israel had light where they lived. 24 Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, (W)“Go, serve the Lord; (X)your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.” 25 But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. 26 Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the Lord our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.” 27 But the Lord (Y)hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 28 Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.” 29 Moses said, “As you say! (Z)I will not see your face again.”
