Exodus 10

ECB^{(i) 1} And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Go in to Paroh: for I callous his heart and the heart of his servants so as to set these my signs in his midst: ² and that you describe in the ears of your son and of the son of your son what I exploited in Misrayim and the signs I set among them; that you know I - Yah Veh. ³ And Mosheh and Aharon come in to Paroh and say to him, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of the Hebrews: Until when refuse you to humble yourself at my face? Send my people away to serve me: ⁴ for if you refuse to send my people away, behold, tomorrow I bring the locusts into your borders: ⁵ and they cover the eye of the earth, that no one can see the earth: and they eat the remainder which escaped - which survives to you from the hail; and eat every tree which sprouts for you from the field: ⁶ and they fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Misrayim; which neither your fathers nor the fathers of your fathers have ever seen since the day they became on the soil, to this day. - and he turns his face and goes out from Paroh. ⁷ And the servants of Paroh say to him, How long becomes this man a snare to us? Send the men away to serve Yah Veh their Elohim! Know you not yet that Misrayim is destroyed? ⁸ And Mosheh and Aharon return to Paroh: and he says to them, Go, serve Yah Veh your Elohim! But who and who goes? ⁹ And Mosheh says, We go with our lads and with our aged with our sons and with our daughters; we go with our flocks and with our oxen; for we celebrate to Yah Veh. ¹⁰ And he says to them, So be it, Yah Veh be with you, as I send you and your toddlers away: See! For evil is at your face. ¹¹ Not so! Go now, you mighty, and serve Yah Veh; for what you seek. - and they are expelled from the face of Paroh. ¹² And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand over the land of Misrayim for the locusts to ascend on the land of Misrayim and eat every herb of the land - even all that survived the hail. ¹³ And Mosheh spreads his rod over the land of Misrayim and Yah Veh drives an east wind on the land all that day and all that night: and morning becomes and the east wind births the locusts: ¹⁴ and the locusts ascend over all the land of Misrayim and rest in all the borders of Misrayim - mighty heavy: neither at their face became such locusts as these nor after them become such: ¹⁵ for they cover the eye of the whole land so that the land darkens; and they eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which remains of the hail: and not any green remains in the trees or in the herbs of the field through all the land of Misrayim. ¹⁶ And Paroh calls for Mosheh and Aharon in haste; and he says, I have sinned against Yah Veh your Elohim and against you: ¹⁷ and now bear, I beseech you, my sin only this one time and intreat Yah Veh your Elohim, to turn aside from me this death only. ¹⁸ And he goes out from Paroh and intreats Yah Veh: ¹⁹ and Yah Veh turns a mighty strong seaward wind which births the locusts and blasts them into the Reed sea; not one locust survives in all the borders of Misrayim. ²⁰ - and Yah Veh callouses the heart of Paroh so that he sends not the sons of Yisra El away. ²¹ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand toward the heavens that there be darkness over the land of Misrayim - even darkness which becomes felt. ²² And Mosheh spreads his hand toward the heavens; and there becomes a darkened darkness in all the land of Misrayim three days: ²³ they neither see man to brother nor rise any from his place for three days: but all the sons of Yisra El have light in their settlements. ²⁴ And Paroh calls to Mosheh, and says, Go you! Serve Yah Veh! - only leave your flocks and your oxen behind: your toddlers also go with you. ²⁵ And Mosheh says, You also give into our hands sacrifices and holocausts to work to Yah Veh our Elohim: ²⁶ our chattel also go with us; not a hoof survives behind; for we take thereof to serve Yah Veh our Elohim; and we - we know not how to serve Yah Veh until we come there. ²⁷ - and Yah Veh callouses the heart of Paroh and he wills to not send them away. ²⁸ And Paroh says to him, Go you from me! Guard yourself! Never see my face again! For in the day you see my face, you die. ²⁹ And Mosheh says, As you word thus, I never see your face again.
