234. saying entreat YHVH.
235. that HE Remove the frogs from me and my people,
236. i will let the people go to Sacrifice to YHVH.

238. tell me when shall i entreat for you  your servants and your people.
239. that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses,
240. that they may be left only in the nile.

242. that you may know there is no one like YHVH our CREATOR.

336. so you may know there is no one like ME in all the earth.

337. now had I put forth MY Hand,
338. to strike you and your people with pestilence.
339. you would have been cut off from the earth,
340. indeed for this cause you are remaining.

341. in order to Show you MY Power,
