but the Egyptians did not obey his command.

and killed all their fish.

³⁰Their country was overrun with frogs;

even the palace was filled with them.

swarmed throughout the whole country.

instead of rain;

countless millions of them;

flowing through the desert like a river.

to Abraham his servant.

⁴³So he led his chosen people out,

and they sang and shouted for joy.

⁴⁴He gave them the lands of other peoples

and let them take over their fields,

⁴⁵so that his people would obey his laws

and keep all his commands.

Praise the LORD!
