The Plague of Dying Egyptian Livestock

Then Yahweh^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Come^H935 to Pharaoh^H6547 and speak^H1696 to him, ‘Thus^H3541 says^H559 Yahweh^H3068, the God^H430 of the Hebrews^H5680, “Let^H7971 My people^H5971 go^H7971, that they may serve^H5647 Me.

Exo 9:2

Exo 9:2“For if you refuse to let them go and [fn]continue to hold them,

Exo 9:3

Exo 9:3behold, the hand of Yahweh [fn]will come with a very heavy pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks.

Exo 9:4

Exo 9:4“But Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.”’”

Exo 9:5

Exo 9:5Yahweh also set a definite time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh will do this thing in the land.”

Exo 9:6

Exo 9:6So Yahweh did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.

Exo 9:7

Exo 9:7And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not even one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was [fn]hardened with firmness, and he did not let the people go.

The Plague of Boils

(Deu 28:27 )

Exo 9:8

Then Yahweh^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175, “Take^H3947 for yourselves handfuls^H4393^H2651 of soot^H6368 from a kiln^H3536, and let Moses^H4872 toss^H2236 it toward the sky^H8064 in the sight^H5869 of Pharaoh^H6547.

Exo 9:9

Exo 9:9“And it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and it will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.”

Exo 9:10

Exo 9:10So they took the soot from the kiln and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses tossed it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.

Exo 9:11

Exo 9:11And the [fn]magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians [fn]as well as on all the Egyptians.

Exo 9:12

Exo 9:12And Yahweh [fn]hardened Pharaoh’s heart with strength, and he did not listen to them, just as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.

The Plague of Hail

Exo 9:13

And Yahweh^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Rise^H7925 up^H7925 early^H7925 in the morning^H1242 and stand^H3320 before^H6440 Pharaoh^H6547, and you shall say^H559 to him, ‘Thus^H3541 says^H559 Yahweh^H3068, the God^H430 of the Hebrews^H5680, “Let^H7971 My people^H5971 go^H7971, that they may serve^H5647 Me.

Exo 9:14

Exo 9:14“For this time I will send all My plagues against your heart and amongst your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

Exo 9:15

Exo 9:15“For if by now I had sent forth My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, you would then have been wiped out from the earth.

Exo 9:16

Exo 9:16“But, indeed, for this reason I have caused you to stand, in order to show you My power and in order to recount My name through all the earth.

Exo 9:17

Exo 9:17“Still you [fn]exalt yourself against My people [fn]by not letting them go.

Exo 9:18

Exo 9:18“Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will rain down very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded [fn]until now.

Exo 9:19

Exo 9:19“So now, send, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, the hail will come down on them, and they will die.”’”

Exo 9:20

Exo 9:20The one among the servants of Pharaoh who [fn]feared the word of Yahweh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses;

Exo 9:21

Exo 9:21but he who did not [fn]consider in his heart the word of Yahweh [fn]left his servants and his livestock in the field.

Exo 9:22

Now Yahweh^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Stretch^H5186 out^H5186 your hand^H3027 toward^H5921 the sky^H8064, that there may be^H1961 hail^H1259 on all^H3605 the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, on man^H120 and on beast^H929 and on every^H3605 plant^H6212 of the field^H7704, throughout the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.”

Exo 9:23

Exo 9:23So Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and Yahweh gave forth [fn]thunder and hail, and fire went down to the earth. And Yahweh rained down hail on the land of Egypt.

Exo 9:24

Exo 9:24So there was hail, and fire [fn]flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

Exo 9:25

Exo 9:25And the hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, from man to beast; the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field.

Exo 9:26

Exo 9:26Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there was no hail.

Exo 9:27

Then Pharaoh^H6547 sent^H7971 and called^H7121 for Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175 and said^H559 to them, “I have sinned^H2398 this^H6471 time^H6471; Yahweh^H3068 is the righteous^H6662 one^H6662, and I and my people^H5971 are the wicked^H7563 ones^H7563.

Exo 9:28

Exo 9:28“Entreat Yahweh, for God’s [fn]thunder and hail are too much; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”

Exo 9:29

Exo 9:29And Moses said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my [fn]hands to Yahweh; the [fn]thunder will cease, and there will be hail no longer, that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s.

Exo 9:30

Exo 9:30“But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet [fn]fear [fn]Yahweh God.”

Exo 9:31

Exo 9:31(Now the flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.

Exo 9:32

Exo 9:32But the wheat and the spelt were not struck down, for they are late-ripening.)

Exo 9:33

Exo 9:33And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his [fn]hands to Yahweh; and the [fn]thunder and the hail ceased, and rain [fn]no longer poured on the earth.

Exo 9:34

Exo 9:34But Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the [fn]thunder had ceased. So he sinned again and [fn]hardened his heart with firmness, he and his servants.

Exo 9:35
