Exodus 8:1-6

Contemporary English Version

8 ¹ he said to Moses:

Go to the palace and tell the king^[a] of Egypt that I order him to let my people go, so they can worship me. ² If he refuses, I will cover his entire country with frogs. ³ Warn the king that the Nile will be full of frogs, and from there they will spread into the royal palace, including the king's bedroom and even his bed. Frogs will enter the homes of his officials and will find their way into ovens and into the bowls of bread dough. ⁴ Frogs will be crawling on everyone—the king, his officials, and every citizen of Egypt.

⁵ Moses, now command Aaron to hold his stick over the water. Then frogs will come from all rivers, canals, and ponds in Egypt, and they will cover the land.

⁶ Aaron obeyed, and suddenly frogs were everywhere in Egypt.
