behold, the hand of the LORD will come with a veryseverepestilence on your livestockwhich are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks.
4
"But the LORD will make a distinctionbetween the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing* will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.""'
7
Pharaohsent, and behold, there was not evenone of the livestock of Israeldead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the peoplego.
8
Then the LORDsaid to Moses and Aaron, "Take for yourselves handfuls* of soot from a kiln, and let Mosesthrow it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
13
Then the LORDsaid to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and standbeforePharaoh and say to him, 'Thussays the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, "Let My peoplego, that they may serve Me.
19
"Now therefore send, bring your livestock and whatever* you have in the field to safety. Everyman and beast that is found in the field and is not broughthome, when the hailcomesdown on them, will die.""'
22
Now the LORDsaid to Moses, "Stretch out your handtoward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on everyplant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
23
Mosesstretched out his stafftoward the sky, and the LORDsentthunder and hail, and fireran down to the earth. And the LORDrainedhail on the land of Egypt.
24
So there was hail, and fireflashing continually in the midst of the hail, verysevere, such as had not been in all the land of Egyptsince it became a nation.
25
The hailstruckall that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, bothman and beast; the hail also struckeveryplant of the field and shatteredeverytree of the field.
27
Then Pharaohsent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinnedthistime; the LORD is the righteousone, and I and my people are the wickedones.
29
Mosessaid to him, "As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD; the thunder will cease and there will be hailnolonger, that you may know that the earth is the LORD'S.
33
So Moseswent out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunder and the hailceased, and rainno longer poured on the earth.
