New King James Version

Exodus 8:1-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

2. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs.

3. So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.

4. And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.” ’ ”

5. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’ ”

6. So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

8. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”

9. And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.”
