Exodus 9:18-25

The Plague of Hail

18 “Behold, about this time tomorrow, ^aI will ^{▼▼ Lit cause to rain}send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded ^{▼▼ Lit and until now}until now. 19 “Now therefore send, bring ^dyour livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. ^eEvery man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.”’” 20 ^fThe one among the servants of Pharaoh who ^{▼▼ Or revered}feared the word of the Lord made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses; 21 but he who ^{▼▼ Lit did not set his heart to}paid no regard to the word of the Lord ^{▼▼ Lit then left}left his servants and his livestock in the field.

22 Now the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that ^{▼▼ Lit there may be hail
,} ^khail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.” 23 Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the Lord ^{▼▼ Lit gave}sent ^{▼▼ Lit sounds}thunder and ⁿhail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire ^{▼▼ Lit taking hold of itself}flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 ^pThe hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, both man and beast; the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field.
