Shemoth (Exodus) 9

Exod 9:1 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh and speak to him,
‘Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, “Let My people go, so that they serve
Me.
Exod 9:2 “For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them,
Exod 9:3 see, the hand of יהוה is on your livestock in the field, on the horses,
on the donkeys, on the camels, on the cattle, and on the sheep – a very
grievous pestilence.
Exod 9:4 “And יהוה shall separate between the livestock of Yisra’ĕl and the
livestock of Mitsrayim, and let no matter die of all that belongs to the
children of Yisra’ĕl.” ’ ”
Exod 9:5 And יהוה set an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow יהוה is going to
do this word in the land.”
Exod 9:6 And יהוה did this word on the next day, and all the livestock of
Mitsrayim died, but of the livestock of the children of Yisra’ĕl, not one died.
Exod 9:7 Then Pharaoh sent, and see, not even one of the livestock of the
Yisra’ĕlites was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not
let the people go.
Exod 9:8 And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “Fill your hands with ashes
from a furnace and let Mosheh scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes
of Pharaoh.
Exod 9:9 “And it shall become fine dust in all the land of Mitsrayim, and it
shall cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast in all the land of
Mitsrayim.”
Exod 9:10 So they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh,
and Mosheh scattered them toward the heavens. And they caused boils,
breaking out in sores on man and beast.
Exod 9:11 And the magicians were unable to stand before Mosheh because
of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Mitsrites.
Exod 9:12 But יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to
them, as יהוה had said to Mosheh.
Exod 9:13 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Rise early in the morning and stand
before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, “Let
My people go, so that they serve Me,
Exod 9:14 for at this time I am sending all My plagues unto your heart, and
on your servants and on your people, so that you know that there is no one
like Me in all the earth.
Exod 9:15 “Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your
people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth.
Exod 9:16 “And for this reason I have raised you up, in order to show you
My power, and in order to declare My Name in all the earth.
Exod 9:17 “You still exalt yourself against My people in that you do not let
them go!
Exod 9:18 “See, tomorrow about this time I am causing very heavy hail to
rain down, such as has not been in Mitsrayim, from the day of its founding
until now.
Exod 9:19 “And now send, bring your livestock to safety, and all that you
have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every beast
which is found in the field and is not brought home, and they shall die.” ’ ”
Exod 9:20 Those among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of יהוה
made their servants and livestock flee to the houses.
Exod 9:21 But those who did not set their heart on the word of יהוה left their
servants and livestock in the field.
Exod 9:22 Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand toward the
heavens, and let there be hail in all the land of Mitsrayim – on man, and on
beast, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Mitsrayim.”
Exod 9:23 Then Mosheh stretched out his rod toward the heavens. And יהוה
sent thunder and hail, and fire came down to the earth. And יהוה rained hail
on the land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 9:24 Thus there came to be hail, and fire flashing continually in the
midst of the hail, very heavy, such as had not been in all the land of
Mitsrayim since it became a nation.
Exod 9:25 And the hail smote in all the land of Mitsrayim all that was in the
field, both man and beast. And the hail smote every plant of the field and
broke every tree of the field.
Exod 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Yisra’ĕl were,
there was no hail.
Exod 9:27 Pharaoh then sent and called for Mosheh and for Aharon, and
said to them, “I have sinned this time. יהוה is righteous, and my people and I
are wrong.
Exod 9:28 “Pray to יהוה, for there has been enough of the thunder and hail of
Elohim. And I am letting you go, so that you stay no longer.”
Exod 9:29 And Mosheh said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, let me
spread out my hands to יהוה, let the thunder cease and the hail be no more, so
that you know that the earth belongs to יהוה.
Exod 9:30 “But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear
before יהוה Elohim.”
Exod 9:31 And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was in
the head and the flax was in bud.
Exod 9:32 But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten, for they were late
crops.
Exod 9:33 And Mosheh went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his
hands to יהוה, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not
poured on the earth.
Exod 9:34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunder had
ceased, yet he sinned again and he hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exod 9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the
children of Yisra’ĕl go, as יהוה had said through Mosheh.
