¹³Then the Lord said to Moses, “Early in the morning, go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord God of the Hebrews says: Let my people go to worship me. ¹⁴Now I will send plagues that will affect you personally as well as your officials and people. This is how you will know that there is no one like me anywhere on earth. ¹⁵By now I could have used my power to kill you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. ¹⁶But I have spared you for this reason. I want to show you my power and make my name famous throughout the earth. ¹⁷You are still blocking my people from leaving. ¹⁸So, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm that has ever happened in Egypt since the beginning of its history. ¹⁹Now, send ⸤servants⸥ to bring your livestock and everything else you have indoors. All people and animals still outside and not brought in will die when the hail falls on them.’ ”

²⁰Those members of Pharaoh’s court who listened to the Lord’s warning brought their servants and cattle indoors quickly. ²¹But those who didn’t take the Lord’s warning seriously left their servants and animals out in the open.
