34 He spoke, and hordes of locusts came—young locusts beyond number.
35 They ate up everything green in the land,destroying all the crops in their fields.
36 Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,the pride and joy of each family.
37 The lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold;and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.
38 Egypt was glad when they were gone,for they feared them greatly.
39 The lord spread a cloud above them as a coveringand gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
40 They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.
