Chp. 10 verses 16 - 29: Pharaoh immediately calls Moshe and Aaron and admits that he has sinned to G-d and to them. He asked them to pray to Hashem to remove the locusts which he calls death. Moshe goes out from Pharaoh and prays to Hashem, who then brings a strong west wind and removes all the locusts in an instant even those that were pickled in jars. Hashem hardens his heart and he does not send out the people. Hashem then tells Moshe to stretch out his hand and bring the plague of darkness. He does so and there are three days of extreme darkness and then three days of thick darkness where not Egyptian can move. The Jews however are able to see and go where they wish. Pharaoh then agrees to let everyone go out except the animals. Moshe says not only will they take their animals but that Pharaoh will give them some of his. Again Hashem hardens Pharaoh's heart and he threatens Moshe that the next day he sees his face he would die. Moshe agrees that he would not see Pharaoh again.
