1 | 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 show in thee
my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Rom 9:17
|
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 | Entreat 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 rye 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. |
