Exodus 10

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these signs of mine among them,2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done among them, that you may know that I am the Lord.” (Ex 7:17; Ex 13:8; Ex 13:14; De 4:9; De 6:20; Ps 78:5; Joe 1:3)3 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. (1Ki 21:29)4 For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, (Le 11:22; Pr 30:27; Joe 1:4; Joe 2:25; Re 9:3)5 and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land. And they shall eat what is left to you after the hail, and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field, (Ex 9:32)6 and they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day they came on earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh. (Ex 8:3; Ex 8:21; Joe 2:9)7 Then Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?”8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. But which ones are to go?” (Ex 10:24)9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the Lord.” (Ex 3:18; Ex 5:1)10 But he said to them, “The Lord be with you, if ever I let you and your little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.[1] (Ex 10:24)11 No! Go, the men among you, and serve the Lord, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.” (Ex 7:19; Ex 10:4)13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.14 The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again. (Ps 78:46; Ps 105:34; Joe 2:2)15 They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt. (Ps 105:35)16 Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. (Ex 9:27)17 Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and plead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me.” (Ex 8:8)18 So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord. (Ex 8:30; Ex 9:33)19 And the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt. (Joe 2:20)20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go. (Ex 4:21)21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.” (Ex 10:12; Ps 105:28)22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.23 They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived. (Ex 8:22; Ex 9:4; Ex 9:6)24 Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord; your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.” (Ex 10:8; Ex 10:10)25 But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.26 Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the Lord our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.”27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go. (Ex 10:20)28 Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.”29 Moses said, “As you say! I will not see your face again.” (Heb 11:27)

from Biblica
1 耶和华对摩西说:“你去见法老,我已使他和他臣仆的心刚硬,好在他们当中行我这些神迹。2 这样,你就可以把我如何严惩埃及人以及我在他们当中所行的神迹告诉你的子孙,好叫你们知道我是耶和华。”3 摩西和亚伦便进宫去见法老,对他说:“希伯来人的上帝耶和华说,‘你要到什么时候才肯在我面前谦卑下来,让我的子民离开这里去事奉我?4 这次你若再不答应,明天我要使蝗虫飞入你的国境。5 它们铺天盖地,要吃光冰雹过后田间所剩的,包括一切树木。6 你的王宫及臣仆和所有埃及人的房屋都要布满蝗虫,这是你祖祖辈辈从未见过的蝗灾。’”摩西说完,便转身离开法老。7 臣仆对法老说:“这个人还要给我们添多少麻烦呢?让他们离开去事奉他们的上帝耶和华吧!埃及已经快崩溃了,你不知道吗?”8 法老便召摩西和亚伦进宫,对他们说:“你们去事奉你们的上帝耶和华吧!但你们谁要去呢?”9 摩西回答说:“我们男女老幼都要去,还有我们的牛群和羊群,因为我们要去守耶和华的节期,向祂献祭。”10 法老听后,说:“我若让你们带走妇女和孩子,最好耶和华能保护你们!你们真是居心叵测。11 不行!只有男子可以去事奉耶和华,这是你们一直要求的。”法老说完,便下令把他们赶出去。12 耶和华对摩西说:“你向埃及伸杖,使蝗虫飞来吃尽冰雹过后剩下的植物。”13 摩西就向埃及伸杖。耶和华使东风在埃及境内刮了整整一天一夜,到早晨,东风带来了蝗虫。14 埃及到处都布满了蝗虫,数目之多实在是空前绝后。15 整个埃及铺满蝗虫,地上一片黑暗。这些蝗虫吃尽了冰雹过后剩下的农作物和树上的果子,没有留下一点青绿。16 法老急忙召见摩西和亚伦,对他们说:“我得罪了你们的上帝耶和华,又得罪了你们。17 现在求你饶恕我的罪,就这一次,为我祈求你们的上帝耶和华撤去这场死亡之灾吧!”18 摩西就离开法老出去祈求耶和华,19 耶和华就把风向倒转,变成猛烈的西风,把蝗虫刮走,吹进红海。埃及境内一只蝗虫也没留下。20 可是,耶和华又使法老心硬,不让以色列人离开埃及。21 耶和华对摩西说:“你向天伸杖,使埃及全境漆黑一片,那黑暗浓得甚至可以摸到。”22 摩西向天伸杖,埃及全境便漆黑了三天之久。23 埃及人彼此看不见,谁也不敢移动半步。可是,以色列人住的地方却有光。24 法老把摩西召来,对他说:“去吧,带着你们的妇女和孩子去事奉耶和华吧,但你们要把牛羊留下。”25 摩西回答说:“你要让我们带走牛羊,因为它们是献给我们上帝耶和华的祭物和燔祭牲。26 我们要带走所有的牲畜,一只蹄子也不留下,因为我们要从其中选一些来献给我们的上帝耶和华。我们抵达目的地前,还不知道把哪些献给祂。”27 但耶和华使法老的心刚硬,不肯让以色列百姓离开。28 法老对摩西说:“给我滚出去!不要再让我见到你,因为你再见我面之日必死。”29 摩西回答说:“你说得好,我必不再见你的面。”
