And he went out from Pharao and prayed unto the LORD,
and the LORD turned the wind into a mighty strong west wind, and
it took away the grasshoppers and cast them into the reed sea: so
that there was not one grasshopper left in all the coasts of
Egypt. But the LORD hardened Pharao's heart, so that he would not
let the children of Israel go. And the LORD said unto Moses:
Stretch out thy hand unto heaven, and let there be darkness upon
the land of Egypt: even that they may feel the darkness. And Moses
stretched forth his hand unto heaven, and there was a dark mist
{thick darkness} upon all the land of Egypt three days long, so
that no man saw another, neither rose up from the place where he
was by the space of three days, but all the children of Israel had
light where they dwelled. Then Pharao called for Moses and said:
go and serve the LORD, only let your sheep, and your oxen abide,
but let your children go with you. And Moses answered: thou must
give us also offerings and burnt offerings for to sacrifice unto
the LORD our God. Our cattle therefore shall go with us, and there
shall not one hoof be left behind, for thereof must we take to
serve the LORD our God. Moreover we can not know wherewith we
shall serve the LORD, until we come thither.
