 For three days, etc.,  .íéÞÄîÈéúÆLìÀL  Pharaoh said to them:  ,íÒ¼ÐþÔtóÓíÖñþÔôÖê

 [there was] a darkness twice as thick  ,íÓïñÔ¼ñÖtÐ×eô CÓLì  by [worshipping] the calf  ñÓèѼÖa

 If he was sitting he could not stand  ,ðBôμÔñ ñB×Ö−ö−ÑêëÑLB−  Moshe said in his prayer,  ,B³ÖlÌõгÌaíÓLô þÔôÖê

 32 Rashi thus cites three translations for LÑôÖ−Ðî:1) darken,2) depart,3) tangible.  33 Sh. Rab. 14, 3.  34 Why ³ÓLñÐL  10 Below, 32, 12  11 Ibid. 14  12 Yehoshua 5, 9.  13 But did they not also ask that the children be permitted to
