1 And YHWH said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and speak to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they will serve Me, 2 for if you are refusing to send them away, and are still keeping hold on them, 3 look, the hand of YHWH will be on your livestock which are in the field, on horses, on donkeys, on camels, on herd, and on flock—a very severe pestilence. 4 And YHWH will separate between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and there will not die a thing of all the sons of Israel. 5 And YHWH set an appointed time, saying, Tomorrow YHWH will do this thing in the land.” 6 And YHWH did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died, and of the livestock of the sons of Israel not one had died. 7 And Pharaoh sent, and look, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died, and the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he had not sent the people away. 8 And YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves the fullness of your handfuls—soot of a furnace, and Moses will sprinkle it toward the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh, 9 and it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it will become on man and on livestock a boil breaking out with blisters in all the land of Egypt.” 10 And they took the soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens, and it was a boil with blisters breaking out on man and on beast. 11 And the enchanters had not been able to stand before Moses because of the boil, for the boil had been on the enchanters, and on all the Egyptians. 12 And YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had spoken to Moses. 13 And YHWH said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, and you say to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they will serve Me, 14 for at this time I am sending all My plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, so that you know that there is none like Me in all the earth, 15 for now I have put out My hand, and I will strike you, and your people, with pestilence, and you will be hidden from the earth. 16 And yet for this I have caused you to stand, so as to show you My power, and for the sake of declaring My name in all the earth. 17 Still you are exalting yourself against My people—so as not to send them away. 18 Look, I will be raining very severe hail about this time tomorrow, such as has not been in Egypt from the day of its founding and until now. 19 And now, send, strengthen your livestock and all that you have in the field. Every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house—the hail will come down on them, and they will die.” 20 He who was fearing the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh had caused his servants and his livestock to flee to the houses. 21 And he who had not set his heart to the word of YHWH left his servants and his livestock in the field. 22 And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.” 23 And Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and YHWH had given voices and hail, and fire goes toward the earth, and YHWH rained hail on the land of Egypt, 24 and there was hail, and fire catching itself in the middle of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. 25 And the hail struck all that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and the hail had struck every herb of the field, and it had broken every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there had been no hail. 27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time—YHWH is the righteous, and I and my people are the wicked, 28 make supplication to YHWH, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I will send you away, and you will not add to remain.” 29 And Moses said to him, “At my going out of the city, I will spread my palms to YHWH—the voices will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you know that the earth is YHWH’s. 30 But you and your servants—I know that you are not yet afraid of the face of YHWH God.” 31 And the flax and the barley have been struck, for the barley is budding, and the flax forming flowers, 32 and the wheat and the rye have not been struck, for they are late. 33 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, from the city, and spread his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail ceased, and rain had not been poured out to the earth. 34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain had ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continued to sin, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was strong, and he had not sent the sons of Israel away, as YHWH had spoken by the hand of Moses.
