8 So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. Who are the ones that are going?”
9 And Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for awe must hold a feast to the Lord.”
10 Then he said to them, “The Lord had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you.
11 Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven aout from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and beat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
13 So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 And athe locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; bpreviously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them.
15 For they acovered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they bate every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
