Exodus 10:9-14

Exodus 10:9-14 NIRV

Moses answered, “We’ll go with our young people and old people. We’ll go with our sons and daughters. We’ll take our flocks and herds. We are supposed to hold a feast to honor the LORD.” Pharaoh said, “Suppose I ever let you go, along with your women and children. Then the LORD really will be with all of you! Clearly you are planning to do something bad. No! I’ll only allow the men to go and worship the LORD. After all, that’s what you have been asking for.” Then Pharaoh drove Moses and Aaron out of his sight. The LORD said to Moses, “Reach out your hand over Egypt so that locusts cover the land. They will eat up everything growing in the fields. They will eat up everything left by the hail.” So Moses reached out his walking stick over Egypt. Then the LORD made an east wind blow across the land. It blew all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts. Large numbers of them came down in every part of Egypt. There had never been a plague of locusts like it before. And there will never be one like it again.
