Nay not so: but go ye that are men and serve the LORD, for that
was your desire. And they thrust them out of Pharao's presence.
And the LORD said unto Moses: Stretch out thine hand over the land
of Egypt for grasshoppers, that they come upon the land of Egypt
and eat all the herbs of the land, and all that the hail left
untouched. And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of
Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land, all that
day and all night. And in the morning the east wind brought the
grasshoppers, and the grasshoppers went up over all the land of
Egypt and lighted in all quarters of Egypt very grievously: so
that before them were there no such grasshoppers, neither after
them shall be. And they covered all the face of the earth, so that
the land was dark therewith. And they ate all the herbs of the
land and all the fruits of the trees which the hail had left: so
that there was no green thing left in the trees and herbs of the
field thorow all the land of Egypt. Then Pharao called for Moses
and Aaron in haste and said: I have sinned against the LORD your
God and against you. Forgive me yet my sin only this once, and
pray unto the LORD your God that he may take away from me this
death only.
