Exodus 8:26 in Context — Exodus 8
24 Pharaon dit: Je vous laisserai aller, pour offrir à l’Éternel, votre Dieu, des sacrifices dans le désert: seulement, vous ne vous éloignerez pas, en y allant. Priez pour moi.
25 Moïse répondit: Je vais sortir de chez toi, et je prierai l’Éternel. Demain, les mouches s’éloigneront de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Mais, que Pharaon ne trompe plus, en refusant de laisser aller le peuple, pour offrir des sacrifices à l’Éternel.
26 Moïse sortit de chez Pharaon, et il pria l’Éternel.
27 L’Éternel fit ce que demandait Moïse; et les mouches s’éloignèrent de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Il n’en resta pas une.
28 Mais Pharaon, cette fois encore, endurcit son cœur, et il ne laissa point aller le peuple.
