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.’

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.”

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.

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.
