The Eighth Blow: Locusts
10:1 The Lord said to Moses , “Go to Pharaoh , for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants , in order to display these signs of mine before him,
10:2 and in order that in the hearing of your son and your grandson you may tell how I made fools of the Egyptians and about my signs that I displayed among them, so that you may know that I am the Lord .”
10:3 So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and told him, “Thus says the Lord , the God of the Hebrews : ‘How long do you refuse to humble yourself before me? Release my people so that they may serve me!
10:4 But if you refuse to release my people , I am going to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow .
10:5 They will cover the surface of the earth , so that you will be unable to see the ground . They will eat the remainder of what escaped – what is left over for you– from the hail , and they will eat every tree that grows for you from the field .
10:6 They will fill your houses , the houses of your servants , and all the houses of Egypt , such as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since they have been in the land until this day !’” Then Moses turned and went out from Pharaoh .
10:7 Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a menace to us? Release the people so that they may serve the Lord their God . Do you not know that Egypt is destroyed ?”
10:8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh , and he said to them, “Go , serve the Lord your God . Exactly who is going with you?”
10:9 Moses said , “We will go with our young and our old , with our sons and our daughters , and with our sheep and our cattle we will go , because we are to hold a pilgrim feast for the Lord .”
10:10 He said to them, “The Lord will need to be with you if I release you and your dependents ! Watch out ! Trouble is right in front of you!
10:11 No ! Go , you men only, and serve the Lord , for that is what you want .” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh’s presence .
10:12 The Lord said to Moses , “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts , that they may come up over the land of Egypt and eat everything that grows in the ground , everything that the hail has left .”
10:13 So Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt , and then the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all night . The morning came , and the east wind had brought up the locusts !
10:14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and settled down in all the territory of Egypt . It was very severe ; there had been no locusts like them before , nor will there be such ever again .
10:15 They covered the surface of all the ground , so that the ground became dark with them, and they ate all the vegetation of the ground and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left . Nothing green remained on the trees or on anything that grew in the fields throughout the whole land of Egypt .
10:16 Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said , “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you!
