Exodus 10:17-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
17So now, please forgive my sin only this once, and plead with the Lord your God, that He would only remove this death from me.' 18Then he left Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord. 19So the Lord shifted the wind to a very strong west wind, which picked up the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea; not one locust was left in all the territory of Egypt. 20But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
21Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt.'
22So Moses reached out with his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
King James Version
Chapter 10
17Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. 18And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord. 19And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt. 20But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go. 21And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
17Please forgive my sin once more and make an appeal to the Lord your God, so that he will just take this death away from me." 18Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the Lord. 19Then the Lord changed the wind to a strong west wind, and it carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the territory of Egypt. 20But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the Israelites go.
21Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt."
22So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt for three days.
23One person could not see another, and for three days they did not move from where they were. Yet all the Israelites had light where they lived.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
17Forgive my sin, just this once, and plead with the Lord your God to take away this death from me.'
18So Moses left Pharaoh’s court and pleaded with the Lord.
19The Lord responded by shifting the wind, and the strong west wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained in all the land of Egypt.
20But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart again, so he refused to let the people go.
21Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Lift your hand toward heaven, and the land of Egypt will be covered with a darkness so thick you can feel it.'
22So Moses lifted his hand to the sky, and a deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt for three days.
23During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived.

17Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and plead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me." 18So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord. 19And the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt. 20But the Lord hardened Pharaoh 's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go.
21Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt."
22So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived.

18Moses then left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
19And the Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which caught up the locusts and carried them into the Red Sea. Not a locust was left anywhere in Egypt.
20But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
21Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt."
22So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.
23No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.
