Exodus 8:1-15
&lt;p class=&quot;chapter-1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text Exod-8-1&quot;&gt;Then the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt;, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1713&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1714&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1715&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-4&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;4 &lt;/sup&gt;The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1716&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-5&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; And the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1717&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-6&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;6 &lt;/sup&gt;So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1718&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-7&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;7 &lt;/sup&gt;But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1719&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-8&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;8 &lt;/sup&gt;Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Plead with the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt;.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1720&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-9&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;9 &lt;/sup&gt;Moses said to Pharaoh, “Be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1721&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-10&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;10 &lt;/sup&gt;And he said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; our God.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1722&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-11&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;11 &lt;/sup&gt;The frogs shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They shall be left only in the Nile.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1723&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-12&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;12 &lt;/sup&gt;So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord &lt;/span&gt;about the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1724&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-13&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;13 &lt;/sup&gt;And the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1725&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-14&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;14 &lt;/sup&gt;And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;en-ESV-1726&quot; class=&quot;text Exod-8-15&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot;&gt;15 &lt;/sup&gt;But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the &lt;span class=&quot;small-caps&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; had said.&lt;/span&gt;

<description>Exodus 8:1-15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs. 3 The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come [&amp;hellip;]</description>
