Exodus 9

Egyptian Livestock Die

1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “GoH935 to PharaohH6547 and speakH1696 to him, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680 saysH559: “1LetH7971 My peopleH5971 goH7971, so that they may serveH5647 Me. 2For 2ifH518 you refuseH3986 to letH7971 them goH7971 and 3continueH5750 to holdH2388 them, 3beholdH2009, 4the handH3027 of the LordH3068 5will comeH1961 with a veryH3966 severeH3515 plagueH1698 on your livestockH4735 whichH834 are in the fieldH7704, on the horsesH5483, on the donkeysH2543, on the camelsH1581, on the herdsH1241, and on the flocksH6629. 46But the LordH3068 will makeH6395 aH6395 distinctionH6395 betweenH996 the livestockH4735 of IsraelH3478 and the livestockH4735 of EgyptH4714, so that 7nothingH3808H1697 will dieH4191 of allH3605 that belongs to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.”’” 5And the LordH3068 setH7760 a definiteH4150 timeH4150, sayingH559, “TomorrowH4279 the LordH3068 will doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 in the landH776.” 6So the LordH3068 didH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 on the nextH4283 dayH4283, and 8allH3605 the livestockH4735 of EgyptH4714 diedH4191; 9but not oneH259 of the livestockH4735 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191. 7And PharaohH6547 sentH7971 men, and they learned that, beholdH2009, not evenH5704 oneH259 of the livestockH4735 of IsraelH3478 was deadH4191. But 10the heartH3820 of PharaohH6547 was 11hardenedH3513, and he did not letH7971 the peopleH5971 goH7971.

The Plague of Boils

8Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175, “TakeH3947 for yourselves handfulsH4393H2651 of sootH6368 from a kilnH3536, and MosesH4872 shall tossH2236 it toward the skyH8064 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547. 9Then it will becomeH1961 fine dustH80 overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and will turnH1961 into 12boilsH7822 breakingH6524 outH6524 with soresH76 on every personH120 and animalH929 through allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 10So they tookH3947 sootH6368 from a kilnH3536, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547; and MosesH4872 tossedH2236 it toward the skyH8064, and it becameH1961 boilsH7822 breakingH6524 outH6524 with soresH76 on every personH120 and animalH929. 1113The soothsayerH2748 priestsH2748 couldH3201 not standH5975 beforeH6440 MosesH4872 becauseH4480H6440 of the boilsH7822, for the boilsH7822 were on the soothsayerH2748 priestsH2748 as well as on allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714. 12But 14the LordH3068 15hardenedH2388 Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820, and he did not listenH8085 to them, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to MosesH4872.

13Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “16RiseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and standH3320 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 and sayH559 to him, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680 saysH559: “17LetH7971 My peopleH5971 goH7971, so that they may serveH5647 Me. 14For thisH2088 timeH6471 I am going to sendH7971 allH3605 My plaguesH4046 18on you and your servantsH5650 and your peopleH5971, soH5668 thatH5668 19you may knowH3045 that thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 likeH3644 Me in allH3605 the earthH776. 15For had I nowH6258 putH7971 outH7971 My handH3027 and struckH5221 you and your peopleH5971 with plagueH1698, you would then have been eliminatedH3582 from the earthH776. 16But indeedH199, 20for thisH2088 reasonH5668 I have allowed you to 21remainH5975, in orderH5668 to showH7200 you My powerH3581 and inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 proclaimH5608 My nameH8034 throughoutH3605 the earthH776. 17StillH5750 you exaltH5549 yourself against My peopleH5971 22by not lettingH7971 them goH7971.

The Plague of Hail

18BeholdH2009, about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279, 23I will 24sendH4305 a veryH3966 heavyH3515 hailH1259, suchH834 as has not beenH1961 seen in EgyptH4714 from the dayH3117 it was foundedH3245 25untilH5704 nowH6258. 19So nowH6258, sendH7971 word, bringH5756 26your livestockH4735 and whateverH3605H834 you have in the fieldH7704 toH5756 safetyH5756. 27EveryH3605 personH120 and animalH929 that is foundH4672 in the fieldH7704 and is not broughtH622 homeH1004, when the hailH1259 comesH3381 downH3381 on them, will dieH4191.”’” 2028Everyone amongH4480 the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547 who 29fearedH3372 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 hurriedH5127 toH5127 bringH5127 his servantsH5650 and his livestockH4735 intoH413 the housesH1004; 21but everyone whoH834 30did not payH7760 regardH3820 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 31leftH5800 his servantsH5650 and his livestockH4735 in the fieldH7704.

22Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ReachH5186 outH5186 with your handH3027 towardH5921 the skyH8064, so that 3233hailH1259 may fallH1961 on allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, on every personH120 and animalH929, and on everyH3605 plantH6212 of the fieldH7704, throughout the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 23So MosesH4872 reachedH5186 outH5186 with his staffH4294 towardH5921 the skyH8064, and the LordH3068 34sentH5414 35thunderH6963 and 36hailH1259, and fireH784 ranH1980 down to the earthH776. And the LordH3068 rainedH4305 hailH1259 on the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 24So there was hailH1259, and fireH784 flashingH3947 intermittentlyH3947 in the midstH8432 of the hailH1259, which was veryH3966 heavyH3515, suchH834 as had not occurredH1961 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 sinceH3975 it becameH1961 a nationH1471. 2537The hailH1259 struckH5221 everythingH3605 that was in the fieldH7704 through allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from peopleH120 to animalsH929; the hailH1259 also struckH5221 everyH3605 plantH6212 of the fieldH7704, and shatteredH7665 everyH3605 treeH6086 of the fieldH7704. 2638OnlyH7534 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, whereH834H8033 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were, was there noH3808 hailH1259.

27Then PharaohH6547 3940sentH7971 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and saidH559 to them, “41I have sinnedH2398 thisH6471 timeH6471; the LordH3068 is the righteousH6662 oneH6662, and I and my peopleH5971 are the wickedH7563 onesH7563. 2842PleadH6279 with the LordH3068, for there has been enoughH7227 of God’sH430 43thunderH6963 and hailH1259; and 44I will letH7971 you goH7971, and you shall stayH5975 noH3808 longerH3254.” 29MosesH4872 saidH559 to him, “As soon as I goH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, I will 45spreadH6566 outH6566 my 46handsH3709 to the LordH3068; the 47thunderH6963 will ceaseH2308 and there will noH3808 longerH5750 be hailH1259, soH4616 thatH4616 you may knowH3045 that 48the earthH776 is the Lord’sH3068. 3049But as for you and your servantsH5650, I knowH3045 that 50you do not yetH2962 51fearH3372 52the LordH3068 GodH430.” 31(Now the flaxH6594 and the 53barleyH8184 were 54ruinedH5221, for the barleyH8184 was in the earH24 and the flaxH6594 was in budH1392. 32But the wheatH2406 and the speltH3698 were not 55ruinedH5221, for they ripen lateH648.) 3356So MosesH4872 leftH3318 the cityH5892 from his meeting with PharaohH6547, and spreadH6566 outH6566 his 57handsH3709 to the LordH3068; and the 58thunderH6963 and the hailH1259 stoppedH2308, and rainH4306 59noH3808 longer pouredH5413 on the earthH776. 34But when PharaohH6547 sawH7200 that the rainH4306 and the hailH1259 and the 60thunderH6963 had stoppedH2308, he sinnedH2398 againH3254 and 61hardenedH3513 his heartH3820, he and his servantsH5650. 35So Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was 62hardenedH2388, and he did not letH7971 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971, justH3512 asH3512 the 63LordH3068 had spokenH1696 throughH3027 MosesH4872.
