1. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh. Tell him, 'The Lord says, "Let my people go. Then they will be able to worship me.
2. " ' "If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
3. The Nile River will be full of frogs. They will come up into your palace. You will have frogs in your bedroom and on your bed. They will be in the homes of your officials and your people. They will be in your ovens and in your bread pans.
4. The frogs will be on you, your people and all of your officials." ' "
5. Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, "Tell Aaron, 'Reach your hand out. Hold your staff over the streams, waterways and ponds. Make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.' "
6. So Aaron reached his hand out over the waters of Egypt. The frogs came up and covered the land.
7. But the magicians did the same things by doing their magic tricks. They also made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
8. Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. He said to them, "Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I'll let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord."
9. Moses said to Pharaoh, "You can have the honor of setting the time for me to pray. I will pray for you, your officials and your people. I'll pray that the frogs will leave you and your homes. The only frogs left will be the ones in the Nile River."
10. "Tomorrow," Pharaoh said. Moses replied, "It will happen just as you say. Then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11. The frogs will leave you and your houses. They will leave your officials and your people. They will remain only in the Nile River."
12. Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh. Then Moses cried out to the Lord about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh.
