Exodus 9:13-35

13Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “Get up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, standH3320 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, and tell himH559 thatH413 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, saysH559: ‘Let My peopleH5971 goH7971, so that they may worship MeH5647. 14OtherwiseH3588H6471H2063, IH589 will sendH7971 allH3605 My plaguesH4046 againstH413 youH38201 and your officialsH5650 and your peopleH5971, soH5668 you may knowH3045 thatH3588 there is no oneH369 like MeH3644 in allH3605 the earthH776.

15ForH3588 by this timeH6258 I could have stretched outH7971 My handH3027 and struckH5221 youH853 andH853 your peopleH5971 with a plagueH1698 to wipe youH3582 offH4480 the earthH776. 16ButH199 I have raised you upH59752 for this very purposeH2063H5668, thatH5668 I might displayH7200 My powerH3581 to youH853,3 and thatH4616 My nameH8034 might be proclaimedH5608 in allH3605 the earthH776.4 17StillH5750, you lord itH5549 over My peopleH5971 and do notH1115 allow them to goH7971.

18BeholdH2005, at this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 I will rain downH4305 the worstH3515H3966 hailH1259 thatH834 has everH3808 fallenH1961H3644 on EgyptH4714, fromH4480 the dayH3117 it was foundedH3245 untilH5704 nowH6258. 19SoH6258 give orders nowH7971 to shelterH5756 your livestockH4735 and everythingH3605 you have in the fieldH7704. EveryH3605 manH120 or beastH929 thatH834 remainsH4672 in the fieldH7704 and is notH3808 broughtH622 insideH1004 will dieH4191 when the hailH1259 comes downH3381 upon themH5921.’”

20Those among Pharaoh’sH6547 officialsH5650 who fearedH3373 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 hurried to bringH5127 their servantsH5650 and livestockH4735 toH413 shelterH1004, 21but those whoH834 disregardedH3808H7760 the wordH1697H3820 of the LORDH3068H413 leftH5800 their servantsH5650 and livestockH4735 in the fieldH7704.

22Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “Stretch outH5186 your handH3027 towardH5921 heavenH8064, so that hailH1259 may fallH1961 on allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714—onH5921 manH120H5921 and beastH929H5921 and everyH3605 plantH6212 of the fieldH7704 throughout the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”

23So MosesH4872 stretched outH5186 his staffH4294 towardH5921 heavenH8064, and the LORDH3068 sentH5414 thunderH6963 and hailH1259, and lightningH784 struckH1980 the earthH776. So the LORDH3068 rained downH4305 hailH1259 uponH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 24The hailH1259 fellH1961 and the lightningH784 continued flashingH3947 through itH8432. The hailH1259 was soH3966 severeH3515 thatH834 nothingH3808 like itH3644 had ever beenH1961 seen in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 from the timeH227 it becameH1961 a nationH1471.

25ThroughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, the hailH1259 struck downH5221 everythingH3605 in the fieldH7704, both manH120 andH5704 beastH929; it beat downH5221 everyH3605 plantH6212 of the fieldH7704 and strippedH7665 everyH3605 treeH6086H7704. 26The onlyH7535 place where it did notH3808 hailH1259 wasH1961 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, whereH834 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 lived.

27Then PharaohH6547 summonedH7971H7121 MosesH4872 and AaronH175. “This timeH6471 I have sinnedH2398,” he saidH559H413. “The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662, and IH589 and my peopleH5971 are wickedH7563. 28PrayH6279 toH413 the LORDH3068, for there has beenH1961 enoughH7227 of God’sH430 thunderH6963 and hailH1259. I will let you goH7971; you do notH3808 need to stayH5975 any longerH3254.”

29MosesH4872 saidH559 to himH413, “When I have leftH3318 the cityH5892, I will spread outH6566 my handsH3709 toH413 the LORDH3068. The thunderH6963 will ceaseH2308, and there will beH1961 noH3808 moreH5750 hailH1259, so thatH4616 you may knowH3045 thatH3588 the earthH776 is the LORD’sH3068. 30But as for youH859 and your officialsH5650, I knowH3045 thatH3588 you still do notH2962 fearH3372H6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430.”

31(Now the flaxH6594 and barleyH8184 were destroyedH5221, sinceH3588 the barleyH8184H24 was ripe and the flaxH6594 was in bloomH1392; 32but the wheatH2406 and speltH3698 were notH3808 destroyedH5221, becauseH3588 theyH2007 are late cropsH648.)

33Then MosesH4872 departedH3318 fromH5973 PharaohH6547, went out of the cityH5892, and spread outH6566 his handsH3709 toH413 the LORDH3068. The thunderH6963 and hailH1259 ceasedH2308, and the rainH4306 no longerH3808 poured downH5413 on the landH776.

34When PharaohH6547 sawH7200 thatH3588 the rainH4306 and hailH1259 and thunderH6963 had ceasedH2308, he sinnedH2398 againH3254 and hardenedH3513 his heartH3820—heH1931 and his officialsH5650. 35So Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388, and he would notH3808 let the IsraelitesH1121H3478 goH7971, just asH834 the LORDH3068 had saidH1696 throughH3027 MosesH4872.
