Exodus 9:13-34

Exodus 9:13-34

[13] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Rise up early  in the morning,  and stand  before  Pharaoh,  and say  the LORD  God  of the Hebrews,  Let my people  go,  that they may serve  [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  [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] the word  of the LORD  among the servants  of Pharaoh  made his servants  and his cattle  flee  into the houses:  [21] And he that regarded  not the word  of the LORD  left  his servants  and his cattle  in the field.  [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.  [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.  [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 Israel  were, was there no hail.  [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.  [28] Intreat  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.  [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.  [30] But as for thee and thy servants,  I know  that ye will not yet fear  the LORD  God.  [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 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.  [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.
