20But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh`s heart, and he didn`t let the children of Israel go.
21Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."
22Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23They didn`t see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you."
25Moses said, "You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.
26Our cattle also shall go with us. There shall not a hoof be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don`t know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there."
