²² Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.

¹⁰ The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,

²¹ The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

¹¹ You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

²² These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.

² A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, A great and strong people; There has never been the like, Neither will there be any more after them, Even to the years of many generations.

³¹ The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

¹³ For, behold, he who forms the mountains, And creates the wind, And declares to man what is his thought; Who makes the morning darkness, And treads on the high places of the Earth: Yahweh, the God of hosts, is his name."
