Exodus:9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
Go in to Pharaoh and tell him ,
Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews :
Let My people go so 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 upon your cattle in the field ,
upon the horses ,
upon the asses ,
upon the camels ,
upon the oxen ,
and upon the sheep ,
a very grievous plague .
*
And the LORD shall separate between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt .
And there shall nothing die of all [
that belongs ]
to the sons of Israel .
*
And the LORD appointed a set time ,
saying ,
Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land .
*
And the LORD did that thing on the next day ,
and all the cattle of Egypt died .
But of the cattle of the sons of Israel ,
not one died .
*
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 Aaron ,
Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace ,
and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky 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 ]
sores upon man and upon beast ,
throughout all the land of Egypt .
*
And they took ashes of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh .
And Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky ,
and it became a boil breaking forth [
with ]
sores upon man and upon beast .
*
And the priests could not stand before Moses because of the boils ,
for the boil was upon the priests and upon all the Egyptians .
*
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh ,
and he did not listen to them ,
even 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 ,
So says the LORD God of the Hebrews ,
Let My people go ,
so that they may serve Me .
*
For I [
am ]
going to send at this time all My plagues upon your heart ,
and upon your servants ,
and upon your people ,
so 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 strike you and your people with plagues ,
and you shall be cut off from the earth .
*
And for this I have made you stand ,
to make you see My power ,
to declare My name in all the land .
*
Do you still exalt yourself against My people ,
that you will not let them go ?
*
Behold !
Tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail , [
such as ]
has not been in Egypt since the foundation of it even until now !
*
And now send out ,
gather your cattle ,
and all that you have in the field .
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 .
*
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle to flee into the houses .
*
And he that did not regard 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 ,
so 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 .
*
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heavens .
And the LORD sent thunder and hail ,
and the fire came down to the ground .
And the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt .
*
And [
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 struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that [
was ]
in the field ,
both man and beast .
And the hail struck every herb of the field ,
and broke every tree of the field .
*
Only in the land of Goshen ,
where the sons 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 .
Jehovah [
is ]
righteous ,
and I and my people are wicked .
*
Pray to the LORD , [
for it is ]
enough .
Let there be no mighty thunderings and hail .
And I will let you go ,
and you shall stay no longer .
*
And Moses said to him ,
as soon as I go out of the city ,
I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD .
The thunder shall stop ,
and the hail will not be any more ,
so that you may know that the earth is the LORD '
s .
*
But [
as for ]
you and your servants ,
I know that you will not yet fear the LORD God .
*
And the flax and the barley [
were ]
stricken ,
for the barley was in the head ,
and the flax was in bud .
*
But the wheat and the rye were not stricken ,
for they had not grown up .
*
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh ,
and spread abroad his hands to the LORD .
And the thunder and hail stopped ,
and the rain was not poured upon the earth .
*
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased ,
he sinned still more and hardened his heart ,
he and his servants .
*
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened ,
neither would he let the sons of Israel go ,
even as the LORD had spoken by Moses .
