Text -- Exodus 8:23-32 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
8:23 I will put a division between my people and your people . This sign will take place tomorrow .”’”
8:24 The Lord did so ; a thick swarm of flies came into Pharaoh’s house and into the houses of his servants , and throughout the whole land of Egypt the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies .
8:25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said , “Go , sacrifice to your God within the land .”
8:26 But Moses said , “That would not be the right thing to do , for the sacrifices we make to the Lord our God would be an abomination to the Egyptians . If we make sacrifices that are an abomination to the Egyptians right before their eyes , will they not stone us?
8:27 We must go on a three-day journey into the desert and sacrifice to the Lord our God , just as he is telling us.”
8:28 Pharaoh said , “I will release you so that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert . Only you must not go very far . Do pray for me.”
8:29 Moses said , “I am going to go out from you and pray to the Lord , and the swarms of flies will go away from Pharaoh , from his servants , and from his people tomorrow . Only do not let Pharaoh deal falsely again by not releasing the people to sacrifice to the Lord .”
8:30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord ,
8:31 and the Lord did as Moses asked – he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh , from his servants , and from his people . Not one remained !
8:32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also and did not release the people .
