Exodus 9:23-33 ▼

23 And Moses stretches out his rod toward the heavens, and YHWH has given voices and hail, and fire goes toward the earth, and YHWH rains hail on the land of Egypt,

24 and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as has not been in all the land of Egypt since it has become a nation.

25 And the hail strikes all that [is] in the field in all the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and the hail has struck every herb of the field, and it has broken every tree of the field;

26 only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel [are], there has been no hail.

27 And Pharaoh sends, and calls for Moses and for Aaron, and says to them, “I have sinned this time—YHWH [is] the righteous, and I and my people [are] the wicked,

28 make supplication to YHWH, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and you do not add to remain.”

29 And Moses says to him, “At my going out of the city, I spread my palms to YHWH—the voices cease, and there is no more hail, so that you know that the earth [is] YHWH’s;

30 but you and your servants—I have known that you are not yet afraid of the face of YHWH God.”

31 And the flax and the barley have been struck, for the barley [is] budding, and the flax forming flowers,

32 and the wheat and the rye have not been struck, for they are late.

33 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, [from] the city, and spreads his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain has not been poured out to the earth;
