9:1 And Yehovah said to Moses, Go in to
Pharaoh, and thou shalt say to him, These things saith Yehovah Elohim of the
Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
9:2 If however thou wilt not send my people away, but yet detainest them:
9:3 behold, the hand of Yehovah shall be upon thy cattle in the fields,
both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep,
a very great mortality.
9:4 And I will make a marvelous distinction in that time between the cattle
of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall
die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
9:5 And Elohim fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow Yehovah will do this thing on
the land. 9:6 And Yehovah did this thing on the next day, and all the
cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel
there died not one.
9:7 And when Pharaoh saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel
there died not one, the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the
people go.
9:8 And Yehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward heaven before Pharaoh,
and before his servants.
9:9 And let it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be
upon men and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on
beasts, in all the land of Egypt.
9:10 So he took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharaoh, and Moses
scattered it toward heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on
men and on beasts.
9:11 And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores,
for the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
9:12 And Yehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he hearkened not to them, as
Yehovah appointed.
9:13 And Yehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh; and thou shalt say to him, These things saith Yehovah Elohim of
the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me.
9:14 For at this present time do I send forth all my plagues into thine
heart, and the heart of thy servants and of thy people; that thou mayest
know that there is not another such as I in all the earth.
9:15 For now I will stretch forth my hand and smite thee and kill thy
people, and thou shalt be consumed from off the earth.
9:16 And for this purpose hast thou been preserved, that I might display in
thee my strength, and that my name might be published in all the earth.
9:17 Dost thou then yet exert thyself to hinder my people, so as not to let
them go?
9:18 Behold, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as
has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
9:19 Now then hasten to gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the
fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields,
and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them,) shall
die.
9:20 He of the servants of Pharaoh that feared the word of Yehovah, gathered
his cattle into the houses.
9:21 And he that did not attend in his mind to the word of Yehovah, left
the cattle in the fields.
9:22 And Yehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thine hand to heaven, and there
shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle,
and on all the herbage on the land.
9:23 And Moses stretched forth his hand to heaven, and Yehovah sent
thunderings and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and Yehovah
rained hail on all the land of Egypt.
9:24 So there was hail and flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was
very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation upon
it.
9:25 And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the
hail smote all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all the
trees in the field.
9:26 Only in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail
was not.
9:27 And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have
sinned this time: Yehovah [is] righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
9:28 Pray then for me to Yehovah, and let him cause the thunderings of Elohim
to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and ye shall
remain no longer.
9:29 And Moses said to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will
stretch out my hands to Yehovah, and the thunderings shall cease, and the
hail and the rain shall be no longer, that thou mayest know that the earth
[is] Yehovah's.
9:30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye have not yet feared
Yehovah.
9:31 And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was advanced,
and the flax was seeding.
9:32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late.
9:33 And Moses went forth from Pharaoh out of the city, and stretched ut his
hands to Yehovah, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain did
not drop on the earth.
9:34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased,
he continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of his
servants.
9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not send forth the
children of Israel, as Yehovah said to Moses. |
9:1 Then Yehovah said unto Moses, Go in
unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Yehovah Elohim of the Hebrews, Let my
people go, that they may serve me.
9:2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
9:3 Behold, the hand of Yehovah is upon thy cattle which is in the field,
upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon
the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
9:4 And Yehovah shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of
Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
9:5 And Yehovah appointed a set time, saying, To morrow Yehovah shall do
this thing in the land.
9:6 And Yehovah did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the
Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let
the people go.
9:8 And Yehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the
sight of Pharaoh.
9:9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a
boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the
land of Egypt.
9:10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses
sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils;
for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
9:12 And Yehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto
them; as Yehovah had spoken unto Moses.
9:13 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Yehovah Elohim of the Hebrews,
Let my people go, that they may serve me.
9:14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon
thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none
like me in all the earth.
9:15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy
people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
9:16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in
thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
9:17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let
them go?
9:18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof
even until now.
9:19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in
the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field,
and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they
shall die.
9:20 He that feared the word of Yehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made
his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
9:21 And he that regarded not the word of Yehovah left his servants and his
cattle in the field.
9:22 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast,
and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Yehovah sent
thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and Yehovah
rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
9:24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such
as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
9:25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the
field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and
brake every tree of the field.
9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was
there no hail.
9:27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I
have sinned this time: Yehovah is righteous, and I and my people are
wicked.
9:28 Entreat Yehovah (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty
thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
9:29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will
spread abroad my hands unto Yehovah; and the thunder shall cease, neither
shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is
Yehovah's.
9:30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the
Yehovah Elohim.
9:31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear,
and the flax was bolled.
9:32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
9:33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his
hands unto Yehovah: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not
poured upon the earth.
9:34 And 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.
9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the
children of Israel go; as Yehovah had spoken by Moses. |
