Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be darkness, over the land of Egypt, - and that one may feel the darkness.

So Moses stretched forth his hand over the heavens, - and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days;

they saw not one another neither rose any man from his couch for three days, - but all the sons of Israel, had light in their dwellings.

Then Pharaoh called out unto Moses and said - Go serve Yahweh, only, your flocks and your herds, shall be left, - even your little ones shall go with you.

And Moses said, Even thou thyself, shalt give into our hands sacrifices and ascending-offerings, - so shall we present offerings to Yahweh our God.

Moreover also, our own cattle, shall go with us - there shall not be left behind, a hoof, for thereof, must we take, to serve Yahweh our God, - even we ourselves, cannot know wherewith we must serve Yahweh, until we have come in thither.

And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, - and he was not willing to let them go.

So Pharaoh said to him - Get thee from me, - take heed to thyself - do not any more! see my face, for in the day thou dost see my face, thou shalt die.

And Moses said - Well hast thou spoken, - no more again to see thy face.
