16 Then Pharaoh called afor Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, b“I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.
17 Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and aentreat the Lord your God, that He may take away from me this death only.”
18 So he awent out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord.
19 And the Lord turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them ainto the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt.
20 But the Lord ahardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
