1 T hen the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let My people go, so they may worship Me.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, and thou hast spoken unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Send My people away, and they serve me,

2 F or if you will not let them go, and still hold them,

for, if thou art refusing to send away, and art still keeping hold upon them,

3 t he hand of the Lord will come with a very bad disease on your animals in the field: on the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the cattle and the flocks.

lo, the hand of Jehovah is on thy cattle which in the field, on horses, on asses, on camels, on herd, and on flock -- a pestilence very grievous.

4 B ut the Lord will divide the animals of Israel from the animals of Egypt. So nothing will die of all that belongs to the people of Israel.”’”

`And Jehovah hath separated between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there doth not die a thing of all the sons of Israel's;

5 T he Lord made a time for this, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.”

and Jehovah setteth an appointed time, saying, To-morrow doth Jehovah do this thing in the land.'

6 S o the Lord did this on the next day. All the animals of Egypt died. But not one of the animals died that belonged to the people of Israel.

And Jehovah doth this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt die, and of the cattle of the sons of Israel not one hath died;

7 P haraoh learned that not one of the animals of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard. He did not let the people go. Bad Sores Come on Egyptians and Their Animals

and Pharaoh sendeth, and lo, not even one of the cattle of Israel hath died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he hath not sent the people away.

8 T hen the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Fill your hands with ashes from a stove. Let Moses throw them toward the sky in front of Pharaoh.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses and unto Aaron, `Take to you the fulness of your hands soot of a furnace, and Moses hath sprinkled it towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh,

9 A nd it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt and will become bad sores on man and animal through all the land of Egypt.”

and it hath become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it hath become on man and on cattle a boil breaking forth blains, in all the land of Egypt.'

10 S o they took ashes from a stove. Moses stood in front of Pharaoh and threw the ashes toward the sky. And it became sores on man and animal.

And they take the soot of the furnace, and stand before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkleth it towards the heavens, and it is a boil blains, breaking forth, on man and on beast;

11 T he wonder-workers could not stand in front of Moses because of the sores. For the sores were on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.

and the scribes have not been able to stand before Moses, because of the boil, for the boil hath been on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.

12 B ut the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard. He did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said to Moses. Large Hail and Fire

And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses.

13 T hen the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and stand in front of Pharaoh and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let My people go, so they may worship Me.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Rise early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Send My people away, and they serve Me,

14 F or this time I will send all My troubles on you and your servants and your people. So you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

for, at this time I am sending all My plagues unto thy heart, and on thy servants, and on thy people, so that thou knowest that there is none like Me in all the earth,

15 F or by now I could have put out My hand and hit you and your people with much trouble and great suffering. You would then have been destroyed from the earth.

for now I have put forth My hand, and I smite thee, and thy people, with pestilence, and thou art hidden from the earth.

16 B ut I have let you live so you could see My power and so My name may be honored through all the earth.

`And yet for this I have caused thee to stand, so as to show thee My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in all the earth;

17 B ut you still use your power against My people by not letting them go.

still thou art exalting thyself against My people -- so as not to send them away;

18 A bout this time tomorrow I will send a very heavy hail such as has never been seen in Egypt from the day it began until now.

lo, I am raining about time to-morrow hail very grievous, such as hath not been in Egypt, even from the day of its being founded, even until now.

19 H ave your cattle and whatever you have in the field brought to a safe place. For the hail will come down upon every man and animal that is in the field and is not brought home. And they will die.”’”

`And, now, send, strengthen thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house -- come down on them hath the hail, and they have died.'

20 A ny of the people of Egypt who feared the word of the Lord made his servants and animals run to the houses.

He who is fearing the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh hath caused his servants and his cattle to flee unto the houses;

21 B ut he who did not listen to the word of the Lord left his servants and animals in the field.

and he who hath not set his heart unto the word of Jehovah leaveth his servants and his cattle in the field.

22 T he Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand toward the sky and hail will fall on all the land of Egypt. Hail will fall on man and animal and every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.”

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch forth thy hand towards the heavens, and there is 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 M oses put out his special stick toward the sky. Then the Lord sent thunder and hail. And lightning struck the ground. The Lord poured hail on the land of Egypt.

And Moses stretcheth out his rod towards the heavens, and Jehovah hath given voices and hail, and fire goeth towards the earth, and Jehovah raineth hail on the land of Egypt,

24 S o there was hail and lightning striking through the hail without stopping. It was very bad, worse than had ever been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as hath not been in all the land of Egypt since it hath become a nation.

25 T he hail hit all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, both man and animal. The hail hit every plant of the field and broke down every tree of the field.

And the hail smiteth in all the land of Egypt all that in the field, from man even unto beast, and every herb of the field hath the hail smitten, and every tree of the field it hath broken;

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

only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel, there hath been no hail.

27 T hen Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. He said to them, “I have sinned this time. The Lord is right. I and my people are guilty.

And Pharaoh sendeth, and calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith unto them, `I have sinned this time, Jehovah the Righteous, and I and my people the Wicked,

28 P ray to the Lord. For there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. And I will let you go. You will stay here no longer.”

make ye supplication unto Jehovah, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and ye add not to remain.'

29 M oses said to him, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will stop. There will be no more hail. Then you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.

And Moses saith unto him, `At my going out of the city, I spread my palms unto Jehovah -- the voices cease, and the hail is not any more, so that thou knowest that the earth Jehovah's;

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

but thou and thy servants -- I have known that ye are not yet afraid of the face of Jehovah God.'

31 T he flax and the barley were destroyed. For these plants had just begun to grow.

And the flax and the barley have been smitten, for the barley budding, and the flax forming flowers,

32 B ut the other grains were not destroyed, because they grow later.

and the wheat and the rye have not been smitten, for they are late.

33 S o Moses left the city and Pharaoh. He spread out his hands to the Lord. And the thunder and the hail stopped. The rain no longer poured on the earth.

And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, the city, and spreadeth his hands unto Jehovah, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain hath not been poured out to the earth;

34 B ut when Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his servants made their hearts hard.

and Pharaoh seeth that the rain hath ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continueth to sin, and hardeneth his heart, he and his servants;

35 P haraoh’s heart was not changed. He did not let the people of Israel go, just as the Lord had said by Moses.

and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
