Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger than their enemies, whose heart turned so, that they hated his people, and dealt untruly with his servants.
Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
And these showed his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and it was dark;
and they were not obedient unto his word.
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
Their land brought forth frogs, yea, even in their kings' chambers.
He spoke the word, and there came all manner of flies, and lice in all their quarters.
He gave them hail-stones for rain, and flames of fire in their land.
He smote their vines also and fig-trees, and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts.
He spoke the word, and the grasshoppers came, and caterpillars innumerable, and did eat up all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
He smote all the first-born in their land, even the chief of all their strength.
He brought them forth also with silver and gold;
there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Egypt was glad at their departing;
for they were afraid of them.
He spread out a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the nightseason.
At their desire he brought quails;
and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, so that rivers ran in the dry places.
For why? he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness, and gave them the lands of the heathen;
and they took the labours of the people in possession, that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws.
