Exodus 8:1-8

The Second Plague: Frogs

1 1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord, "Let my people go, that n they may serve me. 2 But if you o refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with p frogs. 3 The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into q your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, 2 and into your ovens and your kneading bowls. 4 The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants."'" 5 3 And the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, r 'Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!'" 6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and s the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 But t the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

8 Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, u "Plead with the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and v I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord."
