Release my people so that they may serve me! <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/10-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>But if you refuse to release my people, I am going to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>They will cover the surface of the earth, so that you will be unable to see the ground.
