The plague of frogs.

17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man and in beast: all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

The murrain of beasts.

HEN the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto
Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD
God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they
may serve me.

23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground: and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land

26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

27 And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and 13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my peo- wind upon the land all that day, and all that ple are wicked. night: and when it was morning, the east wind 28 Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there brought the locusts. be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I 14 And the locusts went up over all the land of will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. 32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.

19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea: there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.

20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go. 21 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch
