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.” 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. 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. 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. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where there were the sons of Israel, there was no hail. 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. 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.” 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. 30 And as for you and your servants, I know that (you? do not yet fear from before the face of YHWH God.” 31 (And the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in ear, and the flax was in bud. 32 And the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.) 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. 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. 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.
