Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:1 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, "Release my people that they may serve me!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:2 - For if you refuse to release them and continue holding them,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:3 - then the hand of the LORD will surely bring a very terrible plague on your livestock in the field, on the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:4 - But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and nothing will die of all that the Israelites have."'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:5 - The LORD set an appointed time, saying, "Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:6 - And the LORD did this on the next day; all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but of the Israelites' livestock not one died.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:15 - For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with plague, and you would have been destroyed from the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:16 - But for this purpose I have caused you to stand: to show you my strength, and so that my name may be declared in all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:17 - You are still exalting yourself against my people by not releasing them.

The Plague of Hail

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:18 - I am going to cause very severe hail to rain down about this time tomorrow, such hail as has never occurred in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:21 - but those who did not take the word of the LORD seriously left their servants and their cattle in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:22 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Extend your hand toward the sky that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on people and on animals, and on everything that grows in the field in the land of Egypt."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:23 - When Moses extended his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire fell to the earth; so the LORD caused hail to rain down on the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:24 - Hail fell and fire mingled with the hail; the hail was so severe that there had not been any like it in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:30 - But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:31 - (Now the flax and the barley were struck by the hail, for the barley had ripened and the flax was in bud.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:34 - When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder ceased, he sinned again: both he and his servants hardened their hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:35 - So Pharaoh's heart remained hard, and he did not release the Israelites, as the LORD had predicted through Moses.
