let them go.
009:018 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day
it was founded even until now.
009:019 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all
that you have in the field be brought into shelter.
Every man and animal that is found in the field,
and isn't brought home, the hail shall come down on them,
and they shall die."'"
009:020 Those who feared the word of Yahweh among the servants of Pharaoh
made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
009:021 Whoever didn't regard the word of Yahweh left his servants
and his livestock in the field.
009:022 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch forth your hand toward the sky,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man,
and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the
land of Egypt."
009:023 Moses stretched forth his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh
sent thunder, hail, and lightning flashed down to the earth.
Yahweh rained hail on the land of Egypt.
009:024 So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail,
such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it
became a nation.
009:025 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was
in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every
herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
009:026 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were,
there was no hail.
009:027 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them,
"I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my
people are wicked.
009:028 Pray to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings
and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
009:029 Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the city,
I will spread abroad my hands to Yahweh. The thunders
shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you
may know that the earth is Yahweh's.
009:030 But as for you and your servants, I know that you don't yet
fear Yahweh God."
009:031 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the ear,
and the flax was in bloom.
009:032 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had
not grown up.
009:033 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad
his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased,
and the rain was not poured on the earth.
009:034 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders
were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart,
he and his servants.
009:035 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn't let the children
of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.
