Prayer

27 Vi må ta en tre dagers reise ut i ørkenen for å ofre til Herren vår Gud, slik han har befalt oss.»

28 Farao sa: «Jeg vil tillate dere å dra og ofre til Herren deres Gud i ørkenen, men dere må ikke dra for langt. Nå, vær så snill å be for meg.»

Moses svarte: «Så snart jeg forlater deg, vil jeg be til Herren, og i morgen vil fluene forlate farao, hans embetsmenn og hans folk. Bare la farao være sikker på å ikke handle svikefullt igjen ved å ikke la folket dra for å ofre til Herren.»

30 Moses forlot da farao og ba til Herren,

31 og Herren gjorde som Moses ba om. Fluene forlot farao, hans embetsmenn og hans folk; ikke en flue ble igjen.
