The Book of Exodus 9

9 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and speak to him: ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews: “Let my people go, and they shall serve me. 2 Surely if you are unwilling to let go, but are still holding on to them, 3 behold! The hand of Yahweh is about to be on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the cattle, and on the flock—an exceedingly heavy plague. 4 And Yahweh will distinguish between the livestock of Israel and between the livestock of Egypt. And no thing will die from any of the sons of Israel.” ’ ”

5 And Yahweh set an appointment, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh will do this thing in the land.” 6 And Yahweh did this thing the next day, and all of the livestock of Egypt died. But from the livestock of the sons of Israel not one died. 7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died. But the heart of Pharaoh was heavy, and he did not let the people go.

8 And Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take to you a fullness of both your hands of ash of a furnace. And Moses shall sprinkle it toward heaven before the eyes of Pharaoh. 9 And it will become powder over all the land of Egypt. And it will become boils, bursting blisters, on man and on beast in all the land of Egypt.” 10 And they took ash of a furnace, and they stood before the face of Pharaoh. And Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens, and it became boils, bursting blisters, on man and on beast. 11 And the magicians were not able to stand before the face of Moses, because of the face of the boils, because boils were on the magicians and on all of Egypt. 12 But Yahweh strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as Yahweh had said to Moses.

13 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and stand before the face of Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews: “Let my people go, and they shall serve me. 14 For this time I am about to send all my plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, in order that you may know that there is nothing like me in all the earth. 15 For now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague, and you would have been destroyed from the land. 16 However, for this reason I appointed you: in order to show you my power and in order to proclaim my name in all the earth. 17 You are still exalting yourself against my people by failing to let them go. 18 Behold me! I am about to cause extremely heavy hail to rain tomorrow at this time, which there has never been anything like in Egypt from the day it was founded until now. 19 And now send and bring to safety your livestock and all that is yours in the field, and the hail will come down on every man and beast that is found in the field and was not gathered to the house, and they will die.” ’ ”

20 The fearers of the word of Yahweh from the servants of Pharaoh made their slaves and their livestock run to the houses, 21 but whoever did not set his heart to the word of Yahweh left his slaves and his livestock in the field.

22 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out your hand toward the heavens, and there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.”

23 And Moses stretched his staff to the heavens, and Yahweh gave thunder and hail, and fire darted to the land. And Yahweh rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 And there was hail and fire coming in the middle of the hail; it was very heavy, such as it had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail hit everything in the land of Egypt, everything which was in the field, from man to beast. And the hail struck every plant of the field, and it broke every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there was no hail.

27 And Pharaoh sent, and he called for Moses and for Aaron. And he said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are guilty. 28 Pray to Yahweh, for the thunder of God and hail are too much. And I will let you go, and you will not continue to stay.”

29 And Moses said to him, “As I leave the city, I will spread my palms to Yahweh. The thunder will cease, and the hail will not continue, so that you may know that the earth belongs to Yahweh. 30 But you and your servants, I know that you are not yet afraid of the face of Yahweh God.”

31 (And the flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in ear, and the flax was in bloom. 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck down, for they are late.)

33 And Moses left the city from being with Pharaoh, and he spread his palms to Yahweh, and the thunder and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth. 34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder ceased, and he added to his sin, and he caused his heart to be heavy, he and his servants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was strong, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as Yahweh had said by the hand of Moses.
