11The magicians couldn`t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
12Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn`t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.
13Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, `This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14For this time I will send all my plagues on your heart, and on your servants, and on your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15For now I would have put forth my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
16but indeed for this cause I have made you stand, to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17As you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won`t let them go.
