And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Tell Aaron to stretch out his hand with his staff over the streams, rivers, and ponds, and make frogs come up all over the land of Egypt.'
God is instructing Moses and Aaron to bring the second plague upon Egypt - covering the entire land with frogs from all the water sources.
