Exodus 10:21-29

Common English Bible CEB

21 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Raise your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over the land of Egypt, a darkness that you can feel."

22 So Moses raised his hand toward the sky, and an intense darkness fell on the whole land of Egypt for three days.

23 People couldn't see each other, and they couldn't go anywhere for three days. But the Israelites all had light where they lived.

24 Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, "Go! Worship the LORD! Only your flocks and herds need to stay behind. Even your children can go with you."

25 But Moses said, "You need to let us have sacrifices and entirely burned offerings to present to the LORD our God.

26 So our livestock must go with us. Not one animal can be left behind. We'll need some of them for worshipping the LORD our God. We won't know which to use to worship the LORD until we get there."

27 But the LORD made Pharaoh stubborn so that he wasn't willing to let them go.

28 Pharaoh said to him, "Get out of here! Make sure you never see my face again, because the next time you see my face you will die."

29 Moses said, "You've said it! I'll never see your face again!"

New International Version NIV

21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.”

22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.

23 No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.

24 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”

25 But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.

26 Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the LORD our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the LORD.”

27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to let them go.

28 Pharaoh said to Moses, “Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die.”

29 “Just as you say,” Moses replied. “I will never appear before you again.”
