Shabbat, 3 Shevat, 5785 (1 February, 2025)
| 1 God said to Moses, “Come to Pharaoh, for I have made him and his courtiers obstinate, so that I may demonstrate these miraculous signs of Mine in his midst, |
| 2 and so that you may recount to your children and grandchildren how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and how I performed My miraculous signs among them. You will then realize that I am God.” |
| 3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what God, God of the Hebrews, has said: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Send forth My people, so they may serve Me! |
| 4 For if you refuse to send forth My people, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow. |
| 5 They will cover the surface of the land, so that no one will be able to see the ground. They will consume the surviving remnant of vegetation that was left for you after the hail, and they will eat away all your trees that grow in the field. |
| 6 Your houses and all your courtiers’ houses and the houses of all the Egyptians will be filled with them—something that your fathers and your fathers’ fathers have never seen from the day they appeared on earth until this day.’” And with that they turned and left Pharaoh’s presence. |
| 7 Pharaoh’s courtiers said to him, “How long will this person continue to be a snare for us? Send the men forth and let them serve God, their God! Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?” |
| 8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh and he said to them, “Go and serve God, your God. Exactly who will be going?” |
| 9 Moses replied, “We will go with our young people and with our elders; we will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and our cattle, for it is a festival of God for us.” |
| 10 Pharaoh said to them sarcastically, “Yes, of course! May God be with you when I send you forth with your children! But watch out! Your evil intent will backfire! |
| 11 It is not at all as you say! You menfolk go and serve God, for that is what you are asking for!” And theey were expelled from Pharaoh’s presence. |
