Exodus 10:12−20: The Plague of Locusts

This passage tells how God sends the plague of locusts on Egypt. God commands Moses to stretch out his hand so the locusts will come and cover the land. The locusts destroy every green thing left after the hail. Pharaoh admits his sin and asks Moses to pray for relief, but after God removes the locusts, Pharaoh hardens his heart again. This shows how God controls even the smallest creatures, and how people can confess sin in trouble but still refuse to truly change.

v. 12-13: God tells Moses to stretch out his hand so the locusts will come. Moses obeys, and God brings an east wind that blows all day and night. In the morning, the wind brings the locusts into Egypt (v. 12, 13 a).
