Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray that the Lord will take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.” Moses answered Pharaoh, “You may have the honor of choosing when I should pray for you, your officials, and your people.

I want to show you my power and make my name famous throughout the earth. Exodus 9:13-16 GW
