1And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, God of the Hebrews, “Send out my people and they will serve me.
2And if you choose not to send away, and until now you are holding onto them,
3Behold, the hand of LORD JEHOVAH will be on your cattle that are in the wilderness, on the horses, and on the donkeys, and on the camels, and on the oxen, and on the sheep, a plague that is very severe.
4And LORD JEHOVAH will separate between the animals of Israel and the animals of the Egyptians, and no animal of the house of Israel will die, not even one.’”
5And LORD JEHOVAH gave the time that LORD JEHOVAH would make this response in the land: “Tomorrow.”
6And LORD JEHOVAH made this response the day after it, and all beasts of the Egyptians died, and of the beasts of the house of Israel, not even one died.
7And Pharaoh sent and he saw that not even one of the beasts of Israel died, and the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he did not send the people out. 8And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe and Aaron: “Make full your handfuls of the ashes of a furnace, and let Moshe scatter them before the face of Heaven, before the eyes of Pharaoh. 9And there will be dust in all the land of Egypt and there will be on the children of men and upon beast, abscesses of blisters that multiply in all the land of Egypt.” 10And they took the ash of a furnace and they stood before Pharaoh, and Moshe scattered it toward the sky before the eyes of Pharaoh and there were abscesses of boils, and it flew among the children of men and among beasts. 11And the Sorcerers were unable to stand before Moshe because of the abscesses that multiplied among the Sorcerers and in all Egypt. 12And LORD JEHOVAH hardened the heart of Pharaoh and he did not listen to them, as LORD JEHOVAH had said to Moshe. 13And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Arise at dawn and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, “Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, God of the Hebrews: ‘Send out my people and they will serve me. 14Because at this time I am sending my plague on your heart and upon your Servants and upon your people, so that you may know there is none like me in all the Earth. 15Because now I stretch out my hands and I strike you and your people with slaughter and you will be destroyed from the Earth. 16And moreover it is for this that I raised you up so that I shall show you my power and so that My Name will be proclaimed in all the Earth. 17And until now you hold onto the people and you do not desire to send them away. 18Tomorrow at this time I shall bring very strong hail that is unlike any in Egypt from the day that it was built even until now. 19And now send and gather your animals and everything that you have in the wilderness, every son of man and the animals that are found in the field, and upon those not assembled within a house the hail will fall and they will die. 20He who was in awe of the word of LORD JEHOVAH from the Servants of Pharaoh gathered his Servants and his animals into the house: 21And he who did not take the word of LORD JEHOVAH to his heart left his Servants and his animals in the field. 22And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Lift your hand before the face of Heaven and there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on children of men and upon beast and upon all grass that is in the field that is in the land of Egypt.” 23And Moshe lifted his staff before the face of Heaven, and LORD JEHOVAH gave a noise, and hail and fire was walking on the ground, and LORD JEHOVAH brought down the hail on the land of Egypt. 24And hail was coming down, and flaming fire was inside the hail; it was very severe, the likes of which there had not been in all the land of Egypt from the day that it became a nation. 25And the hail beat on all the land of Egypt, all that is in the wilderness, from children of men and unto beast, and the hail destroyed all grass of the field and it broke all trees that were in the field. 26Only in the land of Gashan where the children of Israel were dwelling did the hail not fall. 27And Pharaoh sent and he called Moshe and Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time. LORD JEHOVAH is righteous and I and my people are wicked. 28Pray before LORD JEHOVAH and there is much room before him that there will not be the voice of God and hail, and I shall send you out and you will not stay any longer!” 29And Moshe said to him, “When I go out from the city, I shall stretch out my hands to LORD JEHOVAH; the noises shall depart and hail will fall no more, so that you may know that the Earth is LORD JEHOVAH’s. 30And I know you and your Servants, that until now you do not worship before LORD JEHOVAH God.” 31And the flax and barley were destroyed because the barley root was struck and the flax was bent. 32And the wheat and the rye were not destroyed because they were late growing. 33And Moshe went out from the city from the presence of Pharaoh, and he spread his hands to Heaven to LORD JEHOVAH and the noise departed, and hail and rain did not beat on the ground. 34And Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and the noise departed, and he continued to sin, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his Servants was hardened. 35And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he did not send out the children of Israel, just as what LORD JEHOVAH sent by the hand of Moshe.
