Exodus 10:12-15

Expanded Bible

¹² The Lord told Moses, “·Raise [Extend; Stretch] your hand over the land of Egypt, and the locusts will come. They will ·spread all [^Lgo up] over the land of Egypt and will eat all the ·plants [vegetation] the hail ·did not destroy [^Lleft behind].”

¹³ So Moses ·raised [extended; stretched] his ·walking stick [staff] over the land of Egypt, and the Lord caused a strong east wind to blow across the land all that day and night, and when morning came, the east wind had brought the locusts. ¹⁴ Swarms of locusts ·covered [^Lwent up on] all the land of Egypt and ·settled [rested] ·everywhere [^Lwithin all the borders of Egypt]. There were more locusts than ever before or after, ¹⁵ and they covered the [^Lsurface of the] whole land so that it was ·black [darkened]. They ate everything that was left after the hail—·every plant [^Lall the vegetation] in the field and all the fruit on the trees. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
