Old/New Testament
9 3 The moraine of beasts. 10 The plague of botches and sores. 23 The horrible hail, thunder, and lightning. 26 The land of Goshen ever is excepted. 27 Pharaoh confesseth his wickedness. 33 Moses prayeth for him. 35 Yet he is obstinate.
1 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 But if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt yet hold them still,
3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy flock which is in the field: for upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the cattle, and upon the sheep shall be a [a]mighty great moraine.
4 And the Lord shall do [b]wonderfully between the beasts of Israel, and the beasts of Egypt: so that there shall nothing die at all, that pertaineth to the children of Israel.
5 And the Lord appointed a time, saying, Tomorrow the Lord shall finish this thing in this land.
6 So the Lord did this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 Then Pharaoh [c]sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead: and the heart of Pharaoh was obstinate, and he did not let the people go.
8 ¶ And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take your handful of [d]ashes of the furnace, and Moses shall sprinkle them toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh,
9 And they shall be turned to dust in all the land of Egypt: and it shall be as a scab breaking out into blisters upon man, and upon beast throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 Then they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh: and Moses sprinkled them toward the heaven, and there came [a] [e]scab breaking out into blisters upon man, and upon beast.
11 And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses, because of the scab: for the scab was upon the enchanters and upon all the Egyptians.
12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, (A)as the Lord had said unto Moses.
13 ¶ Also the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me.
14 For I will at this time send my plagues upon [f]thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 For now I will stretch out mine hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with the pestilence: and thou shalt perish from the earth.
16 And indeed, (B)for this cause have [g]I appointed thee, to [h]show my power in thee, and to declare my [i]name throughout all the world.
17 Yet thou exaltest thyself against my people, and lettest them not go.
18 Behold, tomorrow this time I will cause to rain a mighty great hail, such as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was laid unto this time.
19 Send therefore now, and [j]gather the cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for upon all the men, and the beasts, which are found in the field, and not brought home, the hail shall fall upon them, and they shall die.
20 Such then as feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 But such as [k]regarded not the [l]word of the Lord, left his servants, and his cattle in the field.
22 ¶ And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the herbs of the field in the land of Egypt.
23 Then Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and [m]hail, and [n]lightning upon the ground: and the Lord caused hail to rain upon the land of Egypt.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so grievous, as there was none throughout all the land of Egypt, since [o]it was a nation.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast: also the hail smote all the trees of the field and brake to pieces all the trees of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen (where the children of Israel were) was no hail.
27 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I [p]have now sinned: the Lord is righteous, but I and my people are wicked.
28 Pray ye unto the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more [q]mighty thunders, and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall tarry no longer.
29 Then Moses said unto him, As soon as I am out of the city, I will spread mine hands unto the Lord, and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail, that thou mayest know that (C)the earth is the Lord’s.
30 As for thee and thy servants, I know [r]afore I pray, ye will fear before the face of the Lord God.
31 (And the flax, and the barley were smitten: for the barley was eared, and the flax was bolled.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were [s]hid in the ground.)
33 Then Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread his hands to the Lord, and the thunder and the hail ceased, neither rained it upon the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder were ceased, he sinned again, and hardened his heart, both he, and his servants.
35 So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened: neither would he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had said [t]by Moses.
10 7 Pharoah’s servants counsel him to let the Israelites depart. 13 Grasshoppers destroy the country. 16 Pharaoh confesseth his sin. 22 Darkness is sent.
1 Again the Lord said unto Moses, Go to Pharaoh, (D)for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might work these [u]my miracles in the midst of his realm,
2 And that thou mayest declare in the [v]ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have done in Egypt, and my miracles, which I have done among them: that ye may know that I am the Lord.
3 Then came Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh, and they said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse [w]to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 But if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring [x]grasshoppers into thy coasts.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that a man cannot see the earth: and they shall eat the residue which remaineth unto you, and hath escaped from the hail: and they shall eat all your trees that bud in the field.
6 And they shall fill thine houses, and all thy servants’ houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth unto this day. So he returned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Then Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall he be [y]an [z]offence unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: wilt thou first know that Egypt is destroyed?
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh, and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God, but who are they that shall go?
9 And Moses answered, We will go with our young, and with our old, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our sheep, and with our cattle will we go: for we must celebrate a feast unto the Lord.
10 And he said unto them, Let [aa]the Lord so be with you, as I will let you go and your children: [ab]behold, for evil is before your face.
11 It shall not be so: now go ye that are men, and serve the Lord: for that was your desire. Then they were thrust out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 ¶ After, the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand upon the land of Egypt for the grasshoppers, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat all the herbs of the land, even all that the hail had left.
13 Then Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought an East wind upon the land all that day, and all that night: and in the morning the East wind brought the [ac]grasshoppers.
14 So the grasshoppers went up upon all the land of Egypt, and [ad]remained in all quarters of Egypt: so grievous Grasshoppers, like to these were never before, neither after them shall be such.
15 For they covered all the face of the earth, so that the land was dark: and they did eat all the herbs of the land, and all the fruits of the trees, which the hail had left, so that there was no green thing left upon the trees, nor among the herbs of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
16 Therefore Pharaoh called for [ae]Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 And now forgive me my sin only this once, and pray unto the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18 Moses then went out from Pharaoh, and prayed unto the Lord.
19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong West wind, and took away the grasshoppers, and violently cast them into the [af]red Sea, so that there remained not one grasshopper in all the land of Egypt.
20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21 ¶ Again the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be upon the land of Egypt darkness, even darkness that may be [ag]felt.
22 Then Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a [ah]black darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23 No man saw another, neither rose up from the place where he was for three days: but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelt.
24 Then Pharaoh called for Moses, and said, Go serve the Lord: only your sheep and your cattle shall abide, and your children shall go with you.
25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices, and burnt offerings that we may do sacrifice unto the Lord our God.
26 Therefore our cattle also shall go with us: there shall not an [ai]hoof be left, for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God: neither do we know [aj]how we shall serve the Lord, until we come thither.
27 (But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.)
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me: look thou see my face no more: for whensoever thou comest in my sight, thou shalt [ak]die.
29 Then Moses said, Thou hast said well: from henceforth will I see thy face no more.
11 1 God promiseth their departure. 2 He willeth them to borrow their neighbors’ jewels. 3 Moses was esteemed of all save Pharaoh.
1 Now the Lord had said unto Moses, yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt, after that, he will let you go hence: when he letteth you go, he shall [al]at once chase you hence.
2 Speak thou now to the people, that every man [am]require of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, (E)jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
3 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: also Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
4 And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, (F)About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt.
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth on his throne, unto the firstborn of the maid servant, that is at [an]the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.
6 Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was never none like, nor shall be.
7 But against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move his tongue, neither against man nor beast, that ye may know that the Lord putteth a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and fall before me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that [ao]are at thy feet, and after this will I depart. So he went out from Pharaoh very angry.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hear you, [ap]that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10 So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he suffered not the children of Israel to go out of his land.
21 (A)And Jesus went thence, and departed into the [a]coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a woman a [b]Canaanite came out of the same coasts, and cried, saying unto him, Have mercy on me, O Lord, the son of David: my daughter is miserably vexed with a devil.
23 [c]But he answered her not a word. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but unto the (B)lost sheep of the [d]house of Israel.
25 Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord help me.
26 And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to whelps.
27 But she said, Truth, Lord: yet indeed the whelps eat of the crumbs, which fall from their master’s table.
28 Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was made whole at that hour.
29 ¶ [e]So Jesus (C)went away from thence, and came near unto the sea of Galilee, and went up in a mountain and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, (D)having with them, halt, blind, dumb, [f]maimed, and many others, and cast them down, at Jesus’ feet, and he healed them.
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole, the halt to go, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 (E)[g]Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on this multitude, because they have [h]continued with me already three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples said unto him, Whence should we get so much bread in the wilderness, as should suffice so great a multitude!
34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Then he commandeth the multitude [i]to sit down on the ground.
36 And took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were sufficed, and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven [j]baskets full.
38 And they that had eaten, were four thousand men, beside women, and little children.
39 Then Jesus sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the parts of Magdala.
