No straw is given to your servants, but we are told, ¹  ‘Make bricks!’ Your servants are even ²  being beaten, but the fault ³  is with your people.”

Those ¹  of Pharaoh’s servants who feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring their ²  servants and livestock into the houses,

Frogs ¹  will come up against you, your people, and all your servants.”’” ² 

¹ The Israelite foremen went and cried out to Pharaoh, “Why are you treating ²  your servants this way?

The frogs will depart from you, your houses, your servants, and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”

But as for you ¹  and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear ²  the Lord God.”

But everyone’s servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may eat it.

“I, ¹  the Lord, am your God, ²  who brought you ³  from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. ⁴ 

¹ “If you buy ²  a Hebrew servant, ³  he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he will go out free ⁴  without paying anything. ⁵ 

“If a man sells his daughter ¹  as a female servant, ²  she will not go out as the male servants do.

If he knocks out the tooth of his male servant or his female servant, he will let the servant ¹  go free as compensation for the tooth.

and the Lord did as Moses asked ¹  – he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained!
