1 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.
2 For if thou refuse to let them
go, and wilt hold them still,
3 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.
4 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 childrens of Israel.
5 And the LORD appointed a set time,
saying, To morrow the LORD shall 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
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.
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 up toward
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 boils; 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 unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto
Moses.
13 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.
14 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.
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, for to shew in thee my power; and that my
name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 As yet exaltest thou 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 the foundation thereof 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
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.
23 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.
24 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.
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 brake every tree of the
field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where
the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 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.
28 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.
29 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 LORDS.
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 was
smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was
bolled.
32 But the wheat and the rie were
not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33 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.
34 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.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was
hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had
spoken by Moses.
