EX-9:1 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.
EX-9:2 For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them
still,
EX-9:3 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.
EX-9:4 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
children's of
Israel.
EX-9:5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the
LORD shall do
this thing in the land.
EX-9:6 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.
EX-9:7 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.
EX-9:8 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.
EX-9:9 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.
EX-9:10 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.
EX-9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because
of the boils;
for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
EX-9:12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he
hearkened not unto
them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
EX-9:13 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.
EX-9:14 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.
EX-9:15 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.
EX-9:16 And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up,
for to show
[in] thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout
all the earth.
EX-9:17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that
thou wilt not
let them go?
EX-9:18 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.
EX-9:19 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.
EX-9:20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants
of Pharaoh
made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
EX-9:21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
servants and
his cattle in the field.
EX-9:22 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.
EX-9:23 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.
EX-9:24 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.
EX-9:25 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.
EX-9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of
Israel [were], was
there no hail.
EX-9:27 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.
EX-9:28 Entreat 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.
EX-9:29 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 LORD's.
EX-9:30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will
not yet fear
the LORD God.
EX-9:31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley
[was] in the
ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
EX-9:32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they
[were] not grown
up.
EX-9:33 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.
EX-9:34 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.
EX-9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he
let the
children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
