17 Now forgive my sin, only this once, please! So pray to Adonai your God—just so He would take this death away from me!”
18 So he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Adonai.
19 Then Adonai turned the wind from the west, very strong, and it carried off the locusts and drove them into the Sea of Reeds. Not one locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
20 But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let Bnei-Yisrael go.
21 Then Adonai said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt—a darkness that may be felt.”
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 They could not see one another, nor could anyone rise from his place for three days. Yet all Bnei-Yisrael had light within their dwellings.
