1
Then the LORD said to Moses , Go in to Pharaoh , and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews , Let my people Go , that they may serve me.
2
For if thou shalt refuse to let them go , and wilt hold them still,
3
Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which are in the field , upon the horses , upon the asses , upon the camels , upon the oxen , and upon the sheep : there shall be a very grievous murrain.
4
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel , and the cattle of Egypt : and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the children of Israel .
5
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow the LORD will do this thing in the land .
6
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died : but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one .
7
And Pharaoh sent , and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead . And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go .
8
And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron , Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards heaven in the sight of Pharaoh .
9
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt , and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast , throughout all the land of Egypt .
10
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh ; and Moses sprinkled it towards heaven ; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast .
11
And the magicians could not stand before Moses , because of the boil : for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians .
12
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh , and he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had spoke to Moses .
13
And the LORD said to Moses , Rise early in the morning , and stand before Pharaoh , and say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews , Let my people go , that they may serve me.
14
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart , and upon thy servants , and upon thy people: that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth .
15
For now I will stretch out my hand , that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence ; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth .
16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth .
17
As yet dost thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go ?
18
Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail , such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation even until now.
19
Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle , and all that thou hast in the field : for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field , and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die .
20
He that feared the word of the LORD , among the servants of Pharaoh , made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses :
21
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD , left his servants and his cattle in the field .
22
And the LORD said to Moses , Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven , that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt , upon man, and upon beast , and upon every herb of the field , throughout the land of Egypt .
23
And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven , and the LORD sent thunder and hail , and the fire ran along upon the ground : and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt .
24
So there was hail , and fire mingled with the hail , very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt , since it became a nation .
25
And the hail smote , throughout all the land of Egypt , all that was in the field , both man and beast , and the hail smote every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field .
26
Only in the land of Goshen , where the children of Israel were, there was no hail .
27
And Pharaoh sent , and called for Moses and Aaron , and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous , and I and my people are wicked .
28
Entreat the LORD (for it is enough ) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail ; and I will let you go , and ye shall stay no longer.
29
And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city , I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD ; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail ; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD 'S.
30
But as for thee and thy servants , I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God .
31
And the flax and the barley were smitten : for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten ; for they were not grown up.
33
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh , and spread abroad his hands to the LORD : and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth .
34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart , he and his servants .
35
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go ; as the LORD had spoken by Moses .
