Exodus:9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the LORD said to Moses ,
Go in to Pharaoh ,
and tell him ,
Thus said the LORD God of the Hebrews ,
Let my people go ,
that they may serve me .
*
For if you refuse to let them go ,
and will hold them still ,
*
Behold ,
the hand of the LORD is on your cattle which is in the field ,
on the horses ,
on the asses ,
on the camels ,
on the oxen ,
and on 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 '
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 to Moses and to 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 on man ,
and on 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 on man ,
and on beast .
*
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils ;
for the boil was on the magicians ,
and on all the Egyptians .
*
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh ,
and he listened not to them ;
as the LORD had spoken to Moses .
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
Rise up early in the morning ,
and stand before Pharaoh ,
and say to him ,
Thus said 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 on your heart ,
and on your servants ,
and on your people ;
that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth .
*
For now I will stretch out my hand ,
that I may smite you and your people with pestilence ;
and you shall be cut off from the earth .
*
And in very deed for this cause have I raised you up ,
for to show in you my power ;
and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth .
*
As yet exalt you yourself against my people ,
that you will not let them go ?
*
Behold ,
to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail ,
such as has not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now .
*
Send therefore now ,
and gather your cattle ,
and all that you have in the field ;
for on every man and beast which shall be found in the field ,
and shall not be brought home ,
the hail shall come down on 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 to Moses ,
Stretch forth your hand toward heaven ,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt ,
on man ,
and on beast ,
and on 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 on the ground ;
and the LORD rained hail on 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 broke 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 to them ,
I have sinned this time :
the LORD is righteous ,
and I and my people are wicked .
*
Entreat the LORD (
for it is enough )
that there be no more mighty thunder and hail ;
and I will let you go ,
and you shall stay no longer .
*
And Moses said to him ,
As soon as I am gone out of the city ,
I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD ;
and the thunder shall cease ,
neither shall there be any more hail ;
that you may know how that the earth is the LORD '.
*
But as for you and your servants ,
I know that you 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 in bloom .
*
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten :
for they were not grown up .
*
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh ,
and spread abroad his hands to the LORD :
and the thunders and hail ceased ,
and the rain was not poured on 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 .
