4 B ut the Lord shall make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the Israelites.

And the LORD shall separate between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt so that nothing shall die of all that is of the sons of Israel.

5 A nd the Lord set a time, saying, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.

And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.

6 A nd the Lord did that the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the Israelites not one died.

And the next day the LORD did that thing, and of all the livestock of Egypt many died, but of the livestock of the sons of Israel not one died.

7 P haraoh sent to find out, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he did not let the people go.

Then Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the livestock of the sons of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he did not let the people go.

8 T he Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Take handfuls of ashes or soot from the brickkiln and let Moses sprinkle them toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh.

¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Let each of you take handfuls of soot from the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

9 A nd it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast in all the land.

And it shall become dust upon all the land of Egypt, which shall cause boils breaking forth with blisters upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

10 S o they took ashes or soot of the kiln and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw them toward the sky, and it became boils erupting in sores on man and beast.

And they took the soot of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and boils breaking forth with blisters came upon man and upon beast

¶ Then 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.

14 F or this time I will send all My plagues upon your heart and upon your servants and your people, that you may recognize and know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

For otherwise this time I will send all my plagues upon thine heart and upon thy slaves and upon thy people that thou may know that there is none like me in all the earth.

15 F or by now I could have put forth My hand and have struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth.

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 B ut for this very purpose have I let you live, that I might show you My power, and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth.

For in truth I have placed thee to declare my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

17 S ince you are still exalting yourself against My people by not letting them go,

Thou even so dost exalt thyself against my people that thou wilt not let them go.

18 B ehold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very heavy and dreadful fall of hail, such as has not been in Egypt from its founding until now.

Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

19 S end therefore now and gather your cattle in hastily, and all that you have in the field; for every man and beast that is in the field and is not brought home shall be struck by the hail and shall die.

Send therefore now and gather thy livestock 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 T hen he who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses and shelters.

He that feared the word of the LORD among the slaves of Pharaoh made his slaves and his livestock flee into the houses;

22 T he Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man and beast, and upon all the vegetation of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon the men and upon the beasts and upon all the grass of the field throughout the land of Egypt.

23 T hen Moses stretched forth his rod toward the heavens, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire (lightning) ran down to and along the ground, and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD raised his voice and it hailed, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

24 S o there was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the weighty hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

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 inhabited.

25 T he hail struck down throughout all the land of Egypt everything that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail beat down all the vegetation of the field and shattered every tree of the field.

And that hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and beasts; and the hail smote all the grass of the field and broke all the trees of the field.

26 O nly in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were, was there no hail.

Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.

27 A nd Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time; the Lord is in the right and I and my people are in the wrong.

Then 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 E ntreat the Lord, for there has been enough of these mighty thunderings and hail; I will let you go; you shall stay here no longer.

Intreat the LORD that the thunderings of God and the hail might cease; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay here no longer.

29 M oses said to him, As soon as I leave the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord; the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail, that you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.

And Moses replied unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will extend my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou may know how that the earth is the LORD’s.

30 B ut as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.

But I know thee and thy slaves from before ye began to fear the presence of the LORD God.

31 T he flax and the barley were smitten and ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax in bloom.

The flax, therefore, and the barley were smitten, for the barley was headed out, and the flax was in stalk.

32 B ut the wheat and spelt were not smitten, for they ripen late and were not grown up yet.

But the wheat and the rye were not smitten; for they were late.

33 S o Moses left the city and Pharaoh, and stretched forth his hands to the Lord; and the thunder and hail ceased, and rain was no longer poured upon the earth.

And Moses went out from the presence of Pharaoh and out of the city and extended his hands unto the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

34 B ut when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet more, and toughened and stiffened his hard heart, he and his servants.

And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he persevered in his sin and hardened his heart, he and his slaves.

35 S o Pharaoh’s heart was strong and obstinate; he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said by Moses.

And the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
