Tree Of Life Version

Exodus 8:1-10 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. Then Adonai told Moses, “Say to Aaron: Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, canals and pools, and cause frogs to come up over the land of Egypt.”

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

3. But the magicians did the same with their secret arts and brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.

4. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to Adonai, that He would take the frogs away from me and from my people. Then I will let the people go, so they may sacrifice to Adonai.”

5. Moses answered Pharaoh, “Boast about me after I pray for you. When am I to pray for you, your servants and your people, that the frogs would be cut off from you and your houses, and remain only in the Nile?”

6. “Tomorrow,” he said. So he said, “Let it happen according to your word, so that you may know that there is none like Adonai our God.

7. The frogs will depart from you, from your houses, from your servants and from your people. They will remain only in the Nile.”

8. After Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, Moses cried out to Adonai concerning the frogs, which He had brought upon Pharaoh.

9. So Adonai acted according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out in the houses, the courts and the fields.

10. They piled them together in large heaps, and the land stank.
