5	And YHWH set an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow YHWH will do this thing in the land.”	And the LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land.”	The LORD set a time and said, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
6	And YHWH did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died. And from the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.	And the next day the LORD did this thing. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one of the livestock of the people of Israel died.	And the next day the LORD did it: All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.

8	And YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves the fullness of both palms of soot of a furnace, and Moses shall scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.	And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moses throw them in the air in the sight of Pharaoh.	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	And it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and it shall become boils bursting with blisters, on man and on beast, in all the land of Egypt.”	It shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.”	It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
10	And they took soot of the furnace and stood before the face of Pharaoh. And Moses scattered it toward the heavens, and it became boils with blisters bursting, on the man and on the beast.	So they took soot from the kiln and stood before Pharaoh. And Moses threw it in the air, and it became boils breaking out in sores on man and beast.	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	And the magicians were not able to stand before the face of Moses, because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all Egypt.

13	And YHWH said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before the face of Pharaoh and say to him: Thus says YHWH God of the Hebrews, ‘Send out My people, that they may serve Me.	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.

14	For at this time I am sending all My plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, in order that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.	For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, and on your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.	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 that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15	For now I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with the pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth.	For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth.	For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth.
16	But indeed for this reason I have caused you to stand, in order to show you My power, and in order to proclaim My name in all the earth.	But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.	But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
17	Still you are exalting yourself over My people, so as not to send them out.	You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go.	You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go.
18	Behold, about this time tomorrow I am raining down very heavy hail, such as has not been like it in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.	Behold, about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall, such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.	Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now.
19	And now, send—have your livestock brought in, and all that you have in the field; every man and beast that is found in the field and is not gathered to the house—the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die.’”	Now therefore send, get your livestock and all that you have in the field into safe shelter, for every man and beast that is in the field and is not brought home will die when the hail falls on them.”’”	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	The one who fears the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses.	Then whoever feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses,	Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside.
21	And he who did not set his heart to the word of YHWH left his servants and his livestock in the field.	but whoever did not pay attention to the word of the LORD left his slaves and his livestock in the field.	But those who ignored the word of the LORD left their slaves and livestock in the field.
22	And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, on the man, and on the beast, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.”	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and beast and every plant of the field, in the land of Egypt.”	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	And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and YHWH gave voices and hail, and fire went to the earth. And YHWH rained down hail on the land of Egypt.	Then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.	When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt;
24	And there was hail, and fire coming in the middle of the hail, very heavy, such as that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.	There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.	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.
25	And the hail struck in all land of Egypt all that was in the field—from man even to beast—and every plant of the field. The hail struck and shattered every tree of the field.	The hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field.	Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree.
26	Only in the land of Goshen, where there were the sons of Israel, there was no hail.	Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were, was there no hail.	The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.
27	And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and for Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time. YHWH is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones.	Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “This time I have sinned; the LORD is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.	Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said to them. “The LORD is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.
28	Pray to YHWH, for there has been too much of God’s voices and hail. And I will send you⁺ out, and you shall no longer stay.”	Plead with the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”	Pray to the LORD, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t have to stay any longer.”
29	And Moses said to him, “As I leave the city, I will spread out my hands to YHWH, and the voices will cease, and there will not be the hail anymore, in order that you may know that the earth belongs to YHWH.	Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.	Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the LORD. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30	And as for you and your servants, I know that (you⁺ do not yet fear from before the face of YHWH God.”	But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God.”	But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the LORD God.”
31	(And the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in ear, and the flax was in bud.	(The flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.	(The flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom.
32	And the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.)	But the wheat and the emmer were not struck down, for they are late in coming up.)	The wheat and spelt, however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
33	And Moses went out from Pharaoh, out of the city, and he spread out his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.	So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and stretched out his hands to the LORD, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured upon the earth.	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	And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the voices had ceased, and he continued to sin and made heavy his heart—he and his servants.	But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and hardened his heart, he and his servants.	When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.
35	And the heart of Pharaoh was strengthened, and he did not send out the sons of Israel, as YHWH had spoken by the hand Moses.	So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.	So Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
