Exodus 9:23–35

²³And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and ^qthe Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. ²⁴So there was hail, and ^rfire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. ²⁵And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail ^ssmote every herb of the field, and ^sbrake every tree of the field. ^26tOnly in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. ²⁷And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, ^uI have sinned this time: ^xthe Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. ^28yIntreat 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. ²⁹And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will ^zspread 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 ^aearth is the Lord’s. ³⁰But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God. ³¹And the flax and the barley was smitten: ^bfor the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. ³²But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were ^†not grown up. ³³And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and ^cspread abroad his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. ³⁴And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, ^dhe and his servants. ³⁵And ^ethe heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken ^†by Moses.
