Verse
Exodus - ch 8 v 21 - 32
- For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.
- And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.
- And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.
- And the Lord did so; 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.
- And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.
- And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.
- But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.
- Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.
- And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.
- Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.
- And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.
- But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.
