3 Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: 'Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
4 But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
6 And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.' And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
7 Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: 'How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?'
