¹³Then the Lord said to Moses, ⁿ“Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may ^oserve Me, ¹⁴for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, ^pthat you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth. ¹⁵Now if I had ^qstretched out My hand and struck you and your people with ^rpestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. ¹⁶But indeed for ^sthis purpose I have raised you up, that I may ^tshow My power in you, and that My ^uname may be declared in all the earth. ¹⁷As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go. ¹⁸Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now. ¹⁹Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home; and they shall die.” ’ ”

²⁰He who ^vfeared the word of the Lord among the ^wservants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses. ²¹But he who did not regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.
