Exodus 9

5: Death of animals

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “The Lord , the God of the Israelites says this: Let my people go so that they may worship me. ² If you refuse to let them go, you will have more trouble. If you still keep them in Egypt, ³ the Lord will punish you. He will send a very bad illness on all your animals. Your animals in the fields, your horses, donkeys, camels, cows, sheep and goats will all become very ill. ⁴ But the Lord will make a difference between the animals of the Israelites and the animals of the Egyptians. None of the animals of the Israelites will die.” ’

⁵ The Lord decided when this would happen. He said, ‘Tomorrow I will make this happen in the land of Egypt.’ ⁶ So on the next day, the Lord did it! All the animals of the Egyptians died. But not one of the animals of the Israelites died. ⁷ Pharaoh sent his men to see what had happened. They saw that not one of the animals of the Israelites was dead! But Pharaoh's mind was still hard. He did not let the people go.

6: Boils

⁸ Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Take in your hands some ashes from an oven. Throw them up in the air as Pharaoh watches. ⁹ They will become very small dust over the whole country of Egypt. The dust will cause boils to appear on the skin of people and animals. It will happen all over Egypt.’

¹⁰ So they took ashes from an oven and they stood in front of Pharaoh. Moses threw the ashes up in the air. Then bad boils appeared on both people and animals. ¹¹ All the Egyptians had boils, even the magicians. Because of the boils, the magicians could not stand in front of Moses. ¹² But Pharaoh refused to listen to Moses and Aaron. The Lord caused Pharaoh's mind to be hard. The Lord had told Moses that this would happen, and it did!

7: Hail

¹³ Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Get up early in the morning and go to Pharaoh. Say to him, “This is what the Lord , the God of the Israelites says: Let my people go to worship me. ¹⁴ This time, I will send all my troubles to punish you. I will send them against you, your officers and your people. I want you to know that there is nobody as great as me in the whole earth. That is why I am doing this. ¹⁵ Already I could have used my power to destroy you and your people. With one very bad trouble, I could have removed you from the earth. ¹⁶ But I have let you live, to show you my power. Then people all over the world will know how great I am. ¹⁷ You are still too proud to let my people go.

¹⁸ Look! Tomorrow at this time, I will send a very great storm of hail. Nobody has ever seen hail fall like this in Egypt before now. From Egypt's first day as a country until today, nobody has seen a storm like this. ¹⁹ Now send your servants out to tell this message to your people. You must bring into your houses all your animals from the fields to be safe. The hail will fall on every person and on every animal that is still outside. They will all die.” ’

²⁰ Some of Pharaoh's officers were afraid of what the Lord said he would do. So they quickly brought their servants and animals inside their houses. ²¹ But others did not believe the Lord 's message. They left their servants and animals outside in the fields.

²² Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Lift up your hand towards the sky. Then hail will fall over all the country of Egypt. It will fall on people and on animals. It will fall on all the plants that grow in the fields of Egypt.’

²³ When Moses lifted up his stick towards the sky, the Lord sent a great storm. He sent thunder, hail and lightning. ²⁴ The hail fell and there was lightning like fire. It was the worst storm anywhere in Egypt since Egypt had become a nation. ²⁵ Everywhere in Egypt, the hail knocked down everything that was in the fields. It knocked down both people and animals. It knocked down all the plants in the fields and it broke all the trees. ²⁶ But no hail fell in the region of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

²⁷ Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron to come to him. He said to them, ‘This time, I have done a bad thing. The Lord is right. I and my people are guilty. ²⁸ The storms with the thunder and the hail are too much for us! Pray to the Lord to take them away. Then I will let you go! You do not need to stay any longer in Egypt.’

²⁹ Then Moses said to Pharaoh, ‘As soon as I leave the city, I will lift my hands to the Lord and I will pray to him. The storm will stop and there will be no more hail. Then you will know that the whole world belongs to the Lord . ³⁰ But I know you and your officers. You still do not respect the Lord God.’ ^{[ a ]}

³¹ At that time, the barley was ripe in the fields and the flax was nearly ripe. So the storm of hail destroyed the flax and the barley. ³² But the hail did not destroy the wheat and other grains. Those crops become ripe later in the year. ^{[ b ]}

³³ Then Moses left Pharaoh and he went out of the city. He lifted up his hands to the Lord and he prayed. Then the storms and the hail stopped. The heavy rain stopped falling on the earth.

³⁴ Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the storms had stopped. So he did a bad thing again. His mind and his officers' minds became hard. ³⁵ Pharaoh still refused to obey God. He did not let the Israelites go. The Lord had told Moses that this would happen, and it did!

Footnotes

9:30 Moses knew that Pharaoh and his servants were not really afraid of God. They only wanted their problems to go away. They wanted the bad things that were happening to stop.
9:32 Flax is a plant. People make cloth from the flax plant. Barley is a food plant. Wheat is also a food plant that makes grains. These plants had not yet grown as tall, so the hail did not destroy them.

The Disease of the Farm Animals

9 Then the Lord told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him: “The Lord , the God of the Hebrews, says, ‘Let my people go to worship me!’ ² If you continue to hold them and refuse to let them go, ³ then the Lord will use his power against your animals in the fields. He will cause all of your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, and sheep to get sick with a terrible disease. ⁴ But the Lord will treat Israel’s animals differently from the animals of Egypt. None of the animals that belong to the Israelites will die. ⁵ The Lord has set the time for this to happen. He said, ‘Tomorrow the Lord will make this happen in this country.’”

⁶ The next morning the Lord did what he said. All the farm animals of the Egyptians died, but none of the animals that belonged to the Israelites died. ⁷ Pharaoh sent people to see if any of the animals of Israel died. Not one of them died. But Pharaoh remained stubborn and did not let the people go.

The Boils

⁸ The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Fill your hands with the ashes from a furnace. Moses, you throw the ashes into the air in front of Pharaoh. ⁹ This will become dust that will go throughout the land of Egypt. Whenever the dust touches a person or an animal in Egypt, sores will break out on the skin.”

¹⁰ So Moses and Aaron took ashes from a furnace and went and stood before Pharaoh. Moses threw the ashes into the air, and sores began breaking out on people and animals. ¹¹ The magicians could not stop Moses from doing this, because even the magicians had the sores. This happened everywhere in Egypt. ¹² But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, so he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said.

The Hail

¹³ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up in the morning and go to Pharaoh. Tell him that the Lord , the God of the Hebrews, says, ‘Let my people go to worship me! ¹⁴ This time, I will use my full power against you, your officials, and your people. Then you will know that there is no god in the world like me. ¹⁵ I could use my power and cause a disease that would wipe you and your people off the earth. ¹⁶ But I have put you here for a reason. I have put you here so that I could show you my power. Then people all over the world will learn about me! ¹⁷ You are still against my people. You are not letting them go free. ¹⁸ So at this time tomorrow, I will cause a very bad hailstorm. There has never been a hailstorm like this in Egypt, not since Egypt became a nation. ¹⁹ Now, you must put your animals in a safe place. Everything you own that is now in the fields must be put in a safe place. Any person or animal that remains in the fields will be killed. The hail will fall on everything that is not gathered into your houses.’”

²⁰ Some of Pharaoh’s officials paid attention to the Lord ’s message. They quickly put all of their animals and slaves into houses. ²¹ But other people ignored the Lord ’s message and lost all their slaves and animals that were in the fields.

²² The Lord told Moses, “Raise your hand into the air and the hail will start falling all over Egypt. The hail will fall on all the people, animals, and plants in all the fields of Egypt.”

²³ So Moses raised his walking stick into the air, and the Lord sent hail with thunder and lightning down on the earth. The Lord caused hail to fall all over Egypt. ²⁴ The hail was falling, and lightning was flashing all through it. It was the worst hailstorm that had ever hit Egypt since it had become a nation. ²⁵ The storm destroyed everything in the fields in Egypt. The hail destroyed people, animals, and plants. The hail also broke all the trees in the fields. ²⁶ The only place that did not get hail was the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

²⁷ Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, “This time I have sinned. The Lord is right, and I and my people are wrong. ²⁸ We have had enough of this hail and thunder! Ask the Lord to stop the storm, and I will let you go. You don’t have to stay here.”

²⁹ Moses told Pharaoh, “When I leave the city, I will lift my hands in prayer to the Lord , and the thunder and hail will stop. Then you will know that the Lord is in this land. ³⁰ But I know that you and your officials don’t really fear and respect the Lord yet.”

³¹ The flax had already developed its seeds, and the barley was already blooming. So these plants were destroyed. ³² But wheat and spelt ripen later than the other grains, so these plants were not destroyed.

³³ Moses left Pharaoh and went outside the city. He lifted his hands in prayer to the Lord . And the thunder and hail stopped, and then even the rain stopped.

³⁴ When Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had stopped, he again did wrong. He and his officials became stubborn again. ³⁵ Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites go free, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

9 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

² For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

³ Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.

⁴ And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.

⁵ And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land.

⁶ And the Lord did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

⁷ And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

⁸ And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

⁹ And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

¹⁰ And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

¹¹ And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

¹² And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Moses.

¹³ And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

¹⁴ For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

¹⁵ For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

¹⁶ And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

¹⁷ As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

¹⁸ Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

¹⁹ Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

²⁰ He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

²¹ And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.

²² And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

²³ And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

²⁴ So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

²⁵ And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.

²⁶ Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

²⁷ And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

²⁸ Intreat 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.

²⁹ And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread 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 earth is the Lord 's.

³⁰ But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God.

³¹ And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

³² But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

³³ And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord : and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

³⁴ And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

³⁵ And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by Moses.

Egyptian Livestock Die

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, ‘This is what the Lord , the God of the Hebrews says: “ ^{( A )} Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. ² For ^{( B )} if you refuse to let them go and ^{[ a ]} continue to hold them, ³ behold, ^{( C )} the hand of the Lord ^{[ b ]} will come with a very severe plague on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. ⁴ ^{( D )} But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that ^{( E )} nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.”’” ⁵ And the Lord set a definite time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.” ⁶ So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and ^{( F )} all the livestock of Egypt died; ^{( G )} but not one of the livestock of the sons of Israel died. ⁷ And Pharaoh sent men , and they learned that , behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But ^{( H )} the heart of Pharaoh was ^{[ c ]} hardened, and he did not let the people go.

The Plague of Boils

⁸ Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of soot from a kiln, and Moses shall toss it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. ⁹ Then it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will turn into ^{( I )} boils breaking out with sores on every person and animal through all the land of Egypt.” ¹⁰ So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses tossed it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on every person and animal. ¹¹ ^{( J )} The soothsayer priests could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the soothsayer priests as well as on all the Egyptians. ¹² But ^{( K )} the Lord ^{[ d ]} hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.

¹³ Then the Lord said to Moses, “ ^{( L )} Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord , the God of the Hebrews says: “ ^{( M )} Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. ¹⁴ For this time I am going to send all My plagues ^{[ e ]} on you and your servants and your people, so that ^{( N )} you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth. ¹⁵ For had I now put out My hand and struck you and your people with plague, you would then have been eliminated from the earth. ¹⁶ But indeed, ^{( O )} for this reason I have allowed you to ^{[ f ]} remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name throughout the earth. ¹⁷ Still you exalt yourself against My people ^{[ g ]} by not letting them go.

The Plague of Hail

¹⁸ Behold, about this time tomorrow, ^{( P )} I will ^{[ h ]} send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded ^{[ i ]} until now. ¹⁹ So now, send word , bring ^{( Q )} your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. ^{( R )} Every person and animal that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.”’” ²⁰ ^{( S )} Everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who ^{[ j ]} feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring his servants and his livestock into the houses; ²¹ but everyone who ^{[ k ]} did not pay regard to the word of the Lord ^{[ l ]} left his servants and his livestock in the field.

²² Now the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that ^{[ m ]} ^{( T )} hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on every person and animal, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.” ²³ So Moses reached out with his staff toward the sky, and the Lord ^{[ n ]} sent ^{[ o ]} thunder and ^{( U )} hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt. ²⁴ So there was hail, and fire flashing intermittently in the midst of the hail, which was very heavy, such as had not occurred in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. ²⁵ ^{( V )} The hail struck everything that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, from people to animals; the hail also struck every plant of the field, and shattered every tree of the field. ²⁶ ^{( W )} Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were , was there no hail.

²⁷ Then Pharaoh ^{[ p ]} ^{( X )} sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “ ^{( Y )} I have sinned this time; the Lord is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones. ²⁸ ^{( Z )} Plead with the Lord , for there has been enough of God’s ^{[ q ]} thunder and hail; and ^{( AA )} I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.” ²⁹ Moses said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, I will ^{( AB )} spread out my ^{[ r ]} hands to the Lord ; the ^{[ s ]} thunder will cease and there will no longer be hail, so that you may know that ^{( AC )} the earth is the Lord ’ s . ³⁰ ^{( AD )} But as for you and your servants, I know that ^{( AE )} you do not yet ^{[ t ]} fear ^{[ u ]} the Lord God.” ³¹ (Now the flax and the ^{( AF )} barley were ^{[ v ]} ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud. ³² But the wheat and the spelt were not ^{[ w ]} ruined, for they ripen late.) ³³ ^{( AG )} So Moses left the city from his meeting with Pharaoh, and spread out his ^{[ x ]} hands to the Lord ; and the ^{[ y ]} thunder and the hail stopped, and rain ^{[ z ]} no longer poured on the earth. ³⁴ But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the ^{[ aa ]} thunder had stopped, he sinned again and ^{[ ab ]} hardened his heart, he and his servants. ³⁵ So Pharaoh’s heart was ^{[ ac ]} hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the ^{( AH )} Lord had spoken through Moses.

The Plague on Livestock

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord , the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship ^{( A )} me.” ² If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, ³ the hand ^{( B )} of the Lord will bring a terrible plague ^{( C )} on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats. ⁴ But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, ^{( D )} so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”

⁵ The Lord set a time and said, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.” ⁶ And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock ^{( E )} of the Egyptians died, ^{( F )} but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. ⁷ Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died. Yet his heart ^{( G )} was unyielding and he would not let the people go. ^{( H )}

The Plague of Boils

⁸ Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. ⁹ It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils ^{( I )} will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”

¹⁰ So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on people and animals. ¹¹ The magicians ^{( J )} could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians. ¹² But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart ^{( K )} and he would not listen ^{( L )} to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said to Moses.

The Plague of Hail

¹³ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord , the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship ^{( M )} me, ¹⁴ or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know ^{( N )} that there is no one like ^{( O )} me in all the earth. ¹⁵ For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people ^{( P )} with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. ¹⁶ But I have raised you up ^{[ a ]} for this very purpose, ^{( Q )} that I might show you my power ^{( R )} and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. ¹⁷ You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. ¹⁸ Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm ^{( S )} that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now. ^{( T )} ¹⁹ Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every person and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.’”

²⁰ Those officials of Pharaoh who feared ^{( U )} the word of the Lord hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. ²¹ But those who ignored ^{( V )} the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field.

²² Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on people and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.” ²³ When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder ^{( W )} and hail, ^{( X )} and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; ²⁴ hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. ^{( Y )} ²⁵ Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree. ^{( Z )} ²⁶ The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, ^{( AA )} where the Israelites were. ^{( AB )}

²⁷ Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” ^{( AC )} he said to them. “The Lord is in the right, ^{( AD )} and I and my people are in the wrong. ²⁸ Pray ^{( AE )} to the Lord , for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; ^{( AF )} you don’t have to stay any longer.”

²⁹ Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands ^{( AG )} in prayer to the Lord . The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth ^{( AH )} is the Lord ’s. ³⁰ But I know that you and your officials still do not fear ^{( AI )} the Lord God.”

³¹ (The flax and barley ^{( AJ )} were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. ³² The wheat and spelt, ^{( AK )} however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)

³³ Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord ; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. ³⁴ When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. ³⁵ So Pharaoh’s heart ^{( AL )} was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.
