1 Then YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith
Shalat YAHUAH of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them still,
3 Behold, the hand of YAHUAH 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.
4 And YAHUAH shall sever between the cattle of Yisrael and the cattle of Egypt:
and there shall nothing die of all [that is] the children's of Yisrael.
5 And YAHUAH appointed a set time, saying, To morrow YAHUAH shall do this thing
in the land.
6 And YAHUAH did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but
of the cattle of the children of Yisrael died not one.
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.
8 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of
the furnace, and let Mosheh sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of
Pharaoh.
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.
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Mosheh
sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth [with] blains
upon man, and upon beast.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Mosheh because of the boils; for the
boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 And YAHUAH hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as
YAHUAH had spoken unto Mosheh.
13 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before
Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Shalat YAHUAH of the Hebrews, Let my
people go, that they may serve me.
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.
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.
16 And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, for to shew [in]
thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them
go?
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.
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.
20 He that feared the word of YAHUAH among the servants of Pharaoh made his
servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21 And he that regarded not the word of YAHUAH left his servants and his cattle
in the field.
22 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, 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.
23 And Mosheh stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and YAHUAH sent thunder and
hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and YAHUAH rained hail upon the
land of Egypt.
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.
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.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Yisrael [were], was there
no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Mosheh and Aaron, and said unto them, I have
sinned this time: YAHUAH [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.
28 Intreat YAHUAH (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.
29 And Mosheh said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread
abroad my hands unto YAHUAH; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there
be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] YAHUAH'S.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Shalat
YAHUAH.
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear, and
the flax [was] bolled.
32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they [were] not grown up.
33 And Mosheh went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands
unto YAHUAH: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon
the earth.
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.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of
Yisrael go; as YAHUAH had spoken by Mosheh.
