14. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
15. And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
16. And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God and against you.
17. And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your God that he may take away from me this death only!
18. And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
19. And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20. And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21. And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt--so that one may feel darkness.
22. And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days:
23. they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24. And Pharaoh called Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; let your little ones also go with you.
25. And Moses said, Thou must give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God
26. Our cattle also must go with us: there shall not a hoof be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve Jehovah our God and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.
27. But Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he would not let them go.
