9:1And the Lord said to Moses: "Go in to Pharaoh, and speak to him: 'Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go so that it may sacrifice to me. 9:2But if you still refuse, and hold them back, look, my hand will be upon your fields, and upon the horses, and the asses, and the camels, and the oxen, and the sheep, a very grievous plague. 9:4And the Lord will make a wonderful distinction between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, so that nothing at all may perish of the things which belong to the sons of Israel.'" 9:5And the Lord fixed a time, saying: "Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land."
9:6So the Lord did this thing on the next day: and all the living creatures of the Egyptians died; 9:6but of the animals of the sons of Israel, nothing at all perished. 9:7And Pharaoh sent to see: nor was anything dead of those which Israel possessed. 9:7And the heart of Pharaoh was made heavy, and he did not let the people go. 9:8And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: "Take full hands of ash from the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it into the sky before Pharaoh. 9:9And let it be dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there will be on men and beasts sores, and swelling blisters, in all the land of Egypt."
9:10And they took ash from the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it into the sky: and there came to be sores of swelling blisters on men and beasts: nor could the sorcerers stand before Moses because of the sores which were on them, and in all the land of Egypt. 9:12And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not hear them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses. 9:13And the Lord said to Moses: "Rise in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and you will say to him: 'Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go so that it may sacrifice to me.
9:14For at this time I will send 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. 9:15For now, stretching out my hand, I will strike you, and your people, with plague, and you will perish from the earth. 9:16But for this reason I have set you up, to show my strength in you, and that my name may be told in all the earth. 9:17Do you still hold back my people, and not want to let it go? 9:18Look, I will rain tomorrow, at this very hour, very much hail, such as has not been in Egypt from the day on which it was founded, up to the present time.
9:19Send therefore right now, and gather your beasts, and all that you have in the field: for men, and beasts, and all things which are found outside, and not gathered from the fields, if the hail falls upon them, will die.'" 9:20He of the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord made his servants and beasts flee into the houses: but he who disregarded the speech of the Lord left his servants and beasts in the fields. 9:22And the Lord said to Moses: "Stretch out your hand into the sky, so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every plant of the field in the land of Egypt."
9:23And Moses stretched out his rod into the sky, and the Lord gave thunders, and hail, and lightnings running about over the land: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 9:24And hail and fire mixed together were borne along: and it was of such great size as never before appeared in all the land of Egypt since that nation was founded. 9:25And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, from man to beast: and the hail struck every plant of the field, and broke every tree of the region. 9:26Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, the hail did not fall.
9:27And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: "I have sinned this time too: the Lord is just; 9:27I and my people are wicked. 9:28Pray to the Lord that the thunders of God, and the hail, may cease: so that I may let you go, and you may by no means stay here any longer." 9:29Moses said: "When I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my palms to the Lord, and the thunders will stop, and the hail will not be, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord's: but I know that both you and your servants do not yet fear the Lord God."
9:31So the flax and the barley were damaged, because the barley was green, and the flax was already putting out its pods: but the wheat and the spelt were not damaged, because they were late. 9:33And Moses, having gone out from Pharaoh out of the city, stretched out his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, nor did rain drip any longer upon the land. 9:34But Pharaoh, seeing that the rain had ceased, and the hail, and the thunders, increased his sin: and his heart was made heavy, and that of his servants, and it was hardened exceedingly: nor did he let the sons of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
