²⁶ Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no ice-storm.

⁴ And the Lord will make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; there will be no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.

⁷ But against the children of Israel, man or beast, not so much as the tongue of a dog will be moved: so that you may see how the Lord makes a division between Israel and the Egyptians.

⁶ And on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.

²³ They were not able to see one another, and no one got up from his place for three days: but where the children of Israel were living it was light.

¹³ And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.

²² And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

²³ And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.

²⁴ And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

²⁵ And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.

²⁶ And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.

²⁷ But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.

²⁸ Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.

²⁹ And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.

³⁰ Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.

³¹ And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.

³² But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.

¹⁸ And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting-places.

¹⁹ But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.
