And the Lord said unto Moses: rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, for he will come unto the water: and say unto him, thus saith the Lord: let my people goo, that they may serve me. If thou wilt not let my people goo: behold, I will send all manner flies both upon thee and thy servants and thy people and into thy houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of flies, and the ground where on they are. But I will separate the same day the land of Gosan where my people are, so that there shall no flies be there: that thou mayst know that I am the Lord upon the earth. And I will put a division between my people and thine. And even tomorrow shall this miracle be done.
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: ryse vp early in the mornynge and stonde before Pharao, for he will come vnto the water: and saye vnto him, thus sayth the Lorde: let my people goo, that they maye serue me. Yf thou wilt not let my people goo: beholde, I will sende all maner flies both apon the and thy servauntes ād thy people and into thy housses. And the housses of the Egiptians shalbe full of flies, and the grounde where on they are. But I will seperate the same daye the londe of Gosan where my people are, so that there shall no flyes be there: that thou mayst knowe that I am the Lorde vppon the erth. And I will put a deuision betwene my people and thine. And euen tomorow shall this myracle be done.
And the Lord did even so: and there came noisome flies in to the house of Pharaoh, ⟨p. XIIII⟩and in to his servants houses and in to all the land of Egypt: so that the land was marred with flies. Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said: Goo and do sacrifice unto your God in the land. And Moses answered: it is not mete so to do. for we must offer unto the Lord our God, that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians: behold, shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us? we will therefore goo .iij. days journey in to the desert and sacrifice unto the Lord our God as he hath commanded us.
