Exodus 8:22-32

22 But on that day ^aI will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, ^bthat you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. ^{▼▼Or that I the Lord am in the land} 23 Thus I will put a division ^{▼▼Septuagint, Vulgate; Hebrew set redemption} between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall happen.”’” 24 And the Lord did so. ^eThere came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants’ houses. Throughout all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by the swarms of flies.

25 Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.” 26 But Moses said, “It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God are an ^fabomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings ^gabominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must go ^hthree days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God ⁱas he tells us.” 28 So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you must not go very far away. ^jPlead for me.” 29 Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you and I will plead with the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh ^kcheat again by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.” 30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord. 31 And the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained. 32 But Pharaoh ^lhardened his heart this time also, and did not let the people go.
