B. THE SWARMS OF FROGS

And seven days were fulfilled, after that the Lord had smitten the

river. And the Lord spake unto Moses, "Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto

him, 'Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. And

if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with

frogs: and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come

into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into

the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens,

and into thy kneading-troughs: and the frogs shall come up both upon

thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.'"

And the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh

called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Entreat the Lord, that he take

away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people

go, that they may sacrifice unto the Lord."

And the frogs died, but when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he

hardened his heart.
