Exodus 9:13-35 - Plague Seven: Hail

13 And Jehovah will say to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus said Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Send forth my people, and they shall serve me. 14 For in this time I send all my plagues into thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: so that thou shalt know that there is not as I in all the earth. 15 For now I sent forth my hand, and surely I will smite thee and thy people with death; and thou shalt be destroyed from the earth. 16 And yet for this I raised thee up in order to cause thee to see my strength; and for the sake of declaring my name in all the earth. 17 As yet lifting up thyself against my people not to send them forth? 18 Behold, I rain at this time to-morrow, hail exceedingly heavy, which was not as this in Egypt from the day it was founded even now. 19 And now send forth to secure thy cattle, and all which is to thee in the field: every man and quadruped which shall be found in the field, and shall not be gathered together to the house, and the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 20 He fearing the word of Jehovah from the servants of Pharaoh, caused his servants to flee, and his cattle to the houses. 21 And he who set not his heart to the word of Jehovah, will leave his servants and his cattle in the field.

22 And Jehovah will say to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward the heavens, and there shall be hail upon all the land of Egypt, upon man and upon quadruped, and upon the green herb of the field in the land of Egypt 23 And Moses will stretch forth his rod towards the heavens, and Jehovah gave voices, and hail; and fire will go upon the earth: and Jehovah will rain hail upon the land of Egypt 24 And there will be hail and fire taking hold in the midst of the hail, exceedingly heavy, which was not as this upon all the land of Egypt from the time it was for a nation. 25 And the hail will strike in all the land of Egypt, all which is in the field, from man, and even to quadruped, and every green herb of the field; the hail smote and broke in pieces every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, there were the sons of Israel, was no hail.

27 And Pharaoh will send and call for Moses and for Aaron, and will say to them, I sinned this time: Jehovah is just, and I and my people unjust 28 Pray ye to Jehovah and much, from there being voices of God and hail; and I will send you forth, and ye shall not add to stand.

29 And Moses will say to him, When I have gone forth from the city, I will spread forth my hands to Jehovah; the voices shall cease, and the hail shall be no more; for thou shalt know that to Jehovah is the earth. 30 And thou and thy servants, I knew that ye will not yet fear from before Jehovah God.

31 And the flax and the barley were struck: for the barley was ripe, and the flax high. 32 And the wheat and spelt were not struck, for they were late.

33 And Moses will go forth from Pharaoh out of the city, and he will spread forth his hands to Jehovah, and the voices will cease; and the hail and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 34 And Pharaoh will see that the rain ceased, and the hail and the voices; and he will add to sin, and he will make his heart heavy, he and his servants. 35 And Pharaoh's heart will be bound fast, and he sent not forth the sons of Israel; as Jehovah spake by the hand of Moses.
