[RHQ] Let the [Israeli] men leave, in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. (Do you not yet understand that [this man] has ruined Egypt?/You ought to realize by now that [this man] has ruined Egypt!)” [RHQ]

10 and to say to(wards) them to be so LORD with you like/as as which to send: let go [obj] you and [obj] child your to see: behold! for distress: evil before face: before your
[Moses/I really did not intend that the Israelis would ever return to Egypt, and the king knew that also. So] the king replied [sarcastically], “[If you all leave], [it will be clear that] Yahweh has helped you, but I myself will never let you [take] your children [and your wives] when you go! It is clear that you are wickedly planning [not to return].
11 not so to go: went please [the] great man and to serve: minister [obj] LORD for [obj] her you(m. p.) to seek and to drive out: drive out [obj] them from with face Pharaoh

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach out your hand as [though you were stretching it] over the land to welcome the locusts. They will come to the country of Egypt and eat every plant that is [left] in the land, every plant that the hail has not destroyed.”
13 and to stretch Moses [obj] tribe: rod his upon land: country/planet Egypt and LORD to lead spirit: breath east in/on/with land: country/planet all [the] day [the] he/she/it and all [the] night [the] morning to be and spirit: breath [the] east to lift: bear [obj] [the] locust

14 and to ascend: rise [the] locust upon all land: country/planet Egypt and to rest in/on/with all border: area Egypt heavy much to/for face: before his not to be so locust like him and after him not to be so

They covered the surface of the ground and made it [appear] black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that had not been destroyed by the hail. Nothing that was green was left on any plant or on any tree, anywhere in Egypt.
16 and to hasten Pharaoh to/for to call: call to to/for Moses and to/for Aaron and to say to sin to/for LORD God your and to/for you
The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].

So now I ask you to forgive me this one time [for having] sinned, and pray to Yahweh your god to stop [these locusts] [MTY] [from causing everything] to die.”
