Exodus

1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the He­brews, Let my peo­ple go, that they may serve me. 2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 3 Be­hold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cat­tle which is in the field, upon the hors­es, upon the ass­es, upon the camels, upon the ox­en, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous mur­rain. 4 And the LORD shall sev­er be­tween the cat­tle of Is­rael and the cat­tle of Egypt: and there shall noth­ing die of all that is the children's of Is­rael. 5 And the LORD ap­point­ed a set time, say­ing, To mor­row the LORD shall do this thing in the land. 6 And the LORD did that thing on the mor­row, and all the cat­tle of Egypt died: but of the cat­tle of the chil­dren of Is­rael died not one. 7 And Pharaoh sent, and, be­hold, there was not one of the cat­tle of the Is­raelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hard­ened, and he did not let the peo­ple go. 8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you hand­fuls of ash­es of the fur­nace, and let Moses sprin­kle it to­ward the heav­en in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it shall be­come small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil break­ing forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, through­out all the land of Egypt. 10 And they took ash­es of the fur­nace, and stood be­fore Pharaoh; and Moses sprin­kled it up to­ward heav­en; and it be­came a boil break­ing forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. 11 And the ma­gi­cians could not stand be­fore Moses be­cause of the boils; for the boil was upon the ma­gi­cians, and upon all the Egyp­tians. 12 And the LORD hard­ened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hear­kened not unto them; as the LORD had spo­ken unto Moses. 13 And 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 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 there­of even un­til now. 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 He that feared 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. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hard­ened, nei­ther would he let the chil­dren of Is­rael go; as the LORD had spo­ken by Moses.
