Then the LORD said
unto Moses
, Go
in unto Pharaoh
, and tell
him, Thus saith
the LORD
God
of the Hebrews
, Let my people
go
, that they may serve
me.
For if thou refuse to let them go
, and wilt hold
them still,
Behold, the hand of the LORD
is
upon thy cattle
which is 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
.
And the LORD shall sever
between the cattle
of Israel
and the cattle
of Egypt
: and there shall nothing
die
of all that is the children's
of Israel
.
And the LORD appointed
a set time
, saying
, To morrow
the LORD
shall do
this thing
in the land
.
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
.
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
.
And the LORD said
unto Moses
and unto Aaron
, Take
to you handfuls
of ashes
of the furnace
, and let Moses
sprinkle
it toward the heaven
in the sight
of Pharaoh
.
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
.
And they took ashes
of the furnace
, and stood
before
Pharaoh
; and Moses
sprinkled
it up toward heaven
; and it became a boil
breaking forth
with blains
upon man
, and upon beast
.
And the magicians could
not stand
before
Moses
because
of the boils
; for the boil
was upon the magicians
, and upon all the Egyptians
.
And the LORD hardened
the heart
of Pharaoh
, and he hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD
had spoken
unto Moses
.
And the LORD said
unto Moses
, Rise up early
in the morning
, and stand
before
Pharaoh
, and say
unto him, Thus saith
the LORD
God
of the Hebrews
, Let my people
go
, that they may serve
me.
For I will at this time send
all my plagues
upon thine heart
, and upon thy servants
, and upon thy people
; that thou mayest know
that there is none like me in all the earth
.
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
.
And in very deed
for this cause have I raised thee up
, for to shew
in thee my power
; and that my name
may be declared
throughout all the earth
.
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people
, that thou wilt not let them go
?
Behold, to morrow about this time
I will cause it to rain
a very
grievous
hail
, such as hath not been
in Egypt
since
the foundation
thereof even until now.
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
.
He that feared the word
of the LORD
among the servants
of Pharaoh
made his servants
and his cattle
flee
into the houses
:
And he that regarded not the word
of the LORD
left
his servants
and his cattle
in the field
.
And the LORD said
unto Moses
, Stretch forth
thine hand
toward 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
.
And Moses stretched forth
his rod
toward 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
.
So there was hail, and fire
mingled
with the hail
, very
grievous
, such as there was none
like it in all the land
of Egypt
since it became a nation
.
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 brake
every tree
of the field
.
Only in the land of Goshen
, where the children
of Israel
were , was there no hail
.
And Pharaoh sent
, and called
for Moses
and Aaron
, and said
unto them, I have sinned
this time
: the LORD
is righteous
, and I and my people
are wicked
.
Intreat 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
.
And Moses said
unto him, As soon as I am gone out
of the city
, I will spread abroad
my hands
unto 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
.
But as for thee and thy servants, I know
that ye will not yet fear
the LORD
God
.
And the flax and the barley
was smitten
: for the barley
was in the ear
, and the flax
was bolled
.
But the wheat and the rie
were not smitten
: for they
were not grown up
.
And Moses went out
of the city
from Pharaoh
, and spread abroad
his hands
unto the LORD
: and the thunders
and hail
ceased
, and the rain
was not poured
upon the earth
.
And when Pharaoh saw
that the rain
and the hail
and the thunders
were ceased
, he sinned
yet more
, and hardened
his heart
, he and his servants
.
And the heart of Pharaoh
was hardened
, neither would he let the children
of Israel
go
; as the LORD
had spoken
by
Moses
.
