1	Then the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people, to sacrifice to me.	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.	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 me.”
2	But if you still refuse, and you retain them,	For if you refuse to let them go and still hold them,	If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back,
3	behold, my hand will be over your fields. And a very grievous pestilence will be upon the horses, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the oxen, and the sheep.	behold, the hand of the LORD will fall with a very severe plague upon your livestock that are in the field, the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks.	the hand of the LORD will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
4	And the Lord will cause a miracle between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, so that nothing at all will perish from those things which belong to the sons of Israel.”	But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die.”’”	But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5	And the Lord appointed a time, saying: “Tomorrow, the Lord will accomplish this word 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	Therefore, the Lord accomplished this word the next day. And all the animals of the Egyptians died. Yet truly, of the animals of the sons of Israel, nothing at all perished.	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.
7	And Pharaoh sent to see; neither was there anything dead of those things that Israel possessed. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not release the people.	And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.	Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died. Yet his heart was unyielding and he would not let the people go.
8	And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron: “Take handfuls of ashes from the oven, and let Moses sprinkle it into the air, in the sight 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 let there be dust upon all the land of Egypt. For there will be sores and swelling pustules on men and on beasts, throughout the entire 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 ashes from the oven, and they stood in the sight of Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it in the air. And there came sores with swelling pustules on men and on beasts.	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	Neither could the sorcerers stand in the sight of Moses, because of the sores that were on them and on all the land of Egypt.	And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils came upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians.	The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians.
12	And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord said to Moses.	But the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken to Moses.	But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
13	And the Lord said to Moses: “Rise up in the morning, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people to sacrifice to 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.	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 me,
14	For at this turn, I will send all my plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants, and upon your people. So may you know that there is no one 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, extending my hand, I shall strike you and your people with pestilence, and you will perish 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 it was for this reason that I appointed you, so that I may reveal my strength by you, and so that my name may be described throughout 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	Do you still retain my people, and are you still unwilling to release them?	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	So then, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will rain down exceedingly great hail, such as has not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, even until this present time.	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	Therefore, send immediately and gather together your cattle, and all that you have in the field. For men and beasts, and all things that will be found outside, not gathered in from the fields, and on which the hail will fall, 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	He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh caused his servants and cattle to flee together 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	But he who neglected the word of the Lord released his servants and cattle into the fields.	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 the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky, so that there may be hail in the entire land of Egypt, on men, and on beasts, 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 extended his staff into the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and also lightning dashing across the earth. And the Lord rained down hail upon 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 the hail and intermingled fire drove on together. And it was of such magnitude as had never before been seen in the entire land of Egypt, from the time when that nation was formed.	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, throughout all the land of Egypt, everything that was in the fields, from man even to beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field, and it broke every tree of the region.	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 the sons of Israel were, did the hail not fall.	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 Moses and Aaron, saying to them: “I have sinned even until now. The Lord is just. I and my people are impious.	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 the Lord, so that the thundering of God and the hail may cease, so that I may release you, and so that you may by no means remain here any longer.”	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	Moses said: “When I have departed from the city, I will extend my hands to the Lord, and the thunders will cease, and the hail will not be, so that you may know that the earth belongs to the Lord.	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	But I know that both you and your servants do not yet fear the Lord 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 so, the flax and the barley were damaged, because the barley was growing, and the flax was already developing grains.	(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	But the wheat and the spelt were not damaged, because they were late.	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, departing from Pharaoh out of the city, reached out his hands toward the Lord. And the thunders and hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the land.	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	Then Pharaoh, seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, added to his sin.	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 his heart was weighed down, along with that of his servants, and it was hardened exceedingly. Neither did he release the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of 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.
