But ADONAI made Pharaoh hardhearted, and he didn't let the people of Isra'el go.
21
ADONAI said to Moshe, "Reach out your hand toward the sky, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness so thick it can be felt!"
22
Moshe reached out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
23
People couldn't see each other, and no one went anywhere for three days. But all the people of Isra'el had light in their homes.
24
Pharaoh summoned Moshe and said, "Go, worship ADONAI; only leave your flocks and herds behind - your children may go with you."
