Exodus 9:13–21

¹³And 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, ¹⁴for, 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, ¹⁵for now I have put forth My hand, and I smite thee, and thy people, with pestilence, and thou art hidden from the earth.

¹⁶‘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; ¹⁷still thou art exalting thyself against My people—so as not to send them away; ¹⁸lo, I am raining about this 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‘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.’ ²⁰He who is fearing the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh hath caused his servants and his cattle to flee unto the houses; ²¹and he who hath not set his heart unto the word of Jehovah leaveth his servants and his cattle in the field.
