Exodus

Exodus 10:16–20

¹⁶Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you. ¹⁷Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”

¹⁸So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD. ¹⁹And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea.^b Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.

²⁰But the LORD hardened^c Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
