¶The .viij. Chapter.
2 Frogges. 8 Pharao prayeth Moyses to pray for hym. 12 Moyses prayeth for Pharao. 15 Pharao is hardened. 16 Lyce in man and beast. 20 Flyes, or all kynde of wylde fierce and noysome beastes. 25 Pharao intreateth Moyses to pray for hym. 32 Pharao is hardened.
[unspec A] 1 THE Lorde spake vnto Moyses, go vnto Pha∣rao & tell hym, Thus sayeth the Lord: Let my people go, that they may serue me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, beholde, I wyll smyte all thy borders (a) 1.1 with frogges:
3 And the riuer shall scraule with frog∣ges, whiche shall go vp and come into thine house, and into thy priuie chaum∣ber where thou slepest, and vpon thy bed, & into the house of thy seruauntes, and vpon thy people, and into thyne ouens, and vpon al thy vitayles in store:
4 And (b) 1.2 the frogges shall come vp vp∣pon thee, and on thy people, and vpon all thy seruauntes.
5 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses: say vnto Aaron, stretch foorth thyne hande with thy rod ouer the streames, ouer the ryuers, and ouer the pondes: and cause frogges to come vp vpon the lande of Egypt.
* 1.36 And Aaron stretched his hande ouer ye waters of Egypt, & the frogges came vp and couered the lande of Egypt.
7 And (c) 1.4 the sorcerers did likewise with their sorcerie, and brought frogges vp vpon the lande of Egypt.
8 Then Pharao called for Moyses and [unspec B] Aaron, and sayde: pray (d) 1.5 ye vnto the Lorde that he maye take away the frogges from me, and from my people: and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice vnto the Lorde.
9 And (e) 1.6 Moyses sayde vnto Pharao: glory herein because of me, and [appoynt] when I shall pray for thee, and for thy seruauntes, and for thy people to dryue away the frogges from thee and thy houses: and they may remayne but in the ryuer onlye.
10 He sayd: to morowe. (f) 1.7 And he sayde, euen as thou hast said: that thou mayest knowe that there is none like vnto the Lorde our God.
11 And so the frogges shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, from thy ser∣uauntes, and from thy people: and shall remayne in the ryuer onlye.
12 Moyses and Aaron went out from Pharao, and Moyses (g) 1.8 cryed vnto the Lorde, as touching the frogges whiche he had brought against Pharao.
13 And the Lorde dyd accordyng to the saying of Moyses: and the frogges dyed out of the houses, out of the courtes and fieldes.
