Dead animals

1The Lord sent Moses with this message for the king of Egypt: The Lord God of the Hebrews commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him.

2If you keep refusing,

3he will bring a terrible disease on your horses and donkeys, your camels and cattle, and your sheep and goats.

4But the Lord will protect the animals that belong to the people of Israel, and none of theirs will die.

5Tomorrow is the day the Lord has set to do this.

6It happened the next day—all the animals belonging to the Egyptians died, but the Israelites did not lose even one.

7When the king found out, he was still too stubborn to let the people go.

Sores

8The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take a few handfuls of ashes from a stove and let Moses throw them into the air. Be sure the king is watching.

9The ashes will blow across the land of Egypt, causing sores to break out on people and animals.

10So they took a few handfuls of ashes and went to the king. Moses threw them into the air, and sores immediately broke out on the Egyptians and their animals.

11The magicians were suffering so much from the sores, that they could not even come to Moses.

12Everything happened just as the Lord had told Moses—he made the king too stubborn to listen to Moses and Aaron.

Hailstones

13The Lord told Moses to get up early the next morning and say to the king: The Lord God of the Hebrews commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him!

14If you don't, he will send his worst plagues to strike you, your officials, and everyone else in your country. Then you will find out that no one can oppose the Lord.

15In fact, he could already have sent a terrible disease and wiped you from the face of the earth.

16But he has kept you alive, just to show you his power and to bring honour to himself everywhere in the world.

17You are still determined not to let the Lord's people go.

18All right. At this time tomorrow, he will bring on Egypt the worst hailstorm in its history.

19You had better give orders for every person and every animal in Egypt to take shelter. If they don't, they will die.

20Some of the king's officials were frightened by what the Lord had said, and they hurried off to make sure their slaves and animals were safe.

21But others paid no attention to his threats and left their slaves and animals out in the open.

22Then the Lord told Moses, “Stretch your arm towards the sky, so that hailstones will fall on people, animals, and crops in the land of Egypt.”

23Moses pointed his walking stick towards the sky, and hailstones started falling everywhere. Thunder roared, and lightning flashed back and forth, striking the ground. This was the worst storm in the history of Egypt.

24(9:23)

25People, animals, and crops were pounded by the hailstones, and bark was stripped from trees.

26Only Goshen, where the Israelites lived, was safe from the storm.

27The king sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, “Now I have really sinned! My people and I are guilty, and the Lord is right.

28We can't stand any more of this thunder and hail. Please ask the Lord to make it stop. Your people can go—you don't have to stay in Egypt any longer.”

29Moses answered, “As soon as I leave the city, I will lift my arms in prayer. When the thunder and hail stop, you will know that the earth belongs to the Lord.

30But I am certain that neither you nor your officials really fear the Lord God.”

31Meanwhile, the flax and barley crops had been destroyed by the storm because they were ready to ripen.

32But the wheat crops ripen later, and they were not damaged.

33After Moses left the royal palace and the city, he lifted his arms in prayer to the Lord, and the thunder, hail, and drenching rain stopped.

34When the king realized that the storm was over, he disobeyed once more. He and his officials were so stubborn

35that he refused to let the Israelites go. This was exactly what the Lord had said would happen.
