Ten Plagues

。1。

see, by the touch of this rod in my hand

the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood

And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction,

and the river will send up a bad smell,

and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust,

to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.

。2。

The Nile will be full of frogs,

and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed,

and into the houses of your servants and your people,

and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.

The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.

。3。

and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand,

gave a touch to the dust of the earth,

and insects came on man and on beast;

all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

。4。

So they took some dust from the fire,

and placing themselves before Pharaoh,

Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven;

and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.

。5。

and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh

and into his servants' houses,

and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

。6。

Then the hand of the Lord will put on your cattle in the field,

on the horses and the asses and the camels,

on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.

。7。

And the Lord said to Moses,

Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven

so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt,

on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.

。8。

And the Lord said to Moses,

Let your hand be stretched out over the land of Egypt

so that the locusts may come up on the land

for the destruction of every green plant in the land,

even everything untouched by the ice-storm.

。9。

And when Moses' hand was stretched out,

dark night came over all the land of Egypt for three days;

They were not able to see one another,

and no one got up from his place for three days.

。10。

And death will come to every mother's first male child in all the land of Egypt,

from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power,

to the child of the servant-girl crushing the grain;

and the first births of all the cattle.
