Exodus 9

1 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Go in to the Great House (Pharaoh) and tell him, Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews), Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,

3 The hand of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will be upon your cattle in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep. There will be a devestating plague.

4 Yet, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will distinguish between the cattle of God Prevails (Israel) and the cattle of Double Straights (Egypt): and nothing shall die of all that is the children's of God Prevails (Israel) .”

5 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall do this thing in the land.”

6 So I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did that thing the next day, and all the cattle of Double Straights (Egypt) died: but of the cattle of the children of God Prevails (Israel), not one died.

7 And the Great House (Pharaoh) sent investigators, and there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh) was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

8 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses) and to Light Bringer (Aaron), “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace with you, and let Drawn (Moses) sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of the Great House (Pharaoh).

9 It shall become small dust in all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) that will carry boils that spread with blisters upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before the Great House (Pharaoh); and Drawn (Moses) sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blisters upon man, and upon beast.

11 The magicians could not stand before Drawn (Moses) because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Double Straighters (Egyptians).

12 Yet I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) irritated and hardened the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh), and he did not listen to them; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had spoken to Drawn (Moses).

13 Then, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before the Great House (Pharaoh), and say to him, Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews), Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

14 Now you will be tread upon by plagues on your heart, and on your servants, and on your people; that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that you and your people might be attacked with pestilence; and you will be cut off from the earth.

16 Indeed, for this cause have you were raised up, to show in you My power; and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth.

17 Yet you exalt yourself against My people, that you will not let them go?

18 Tomorrow, about this time it will rain a very horrible hail, such as has not been in Double Straights (Egypt) since the foundation of it, even until now.

19 Send therefore now, and gather your cattle, and all that you have in the field; for upon every man and beast which is in the field, and has not been brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.”

20 He that feared the word of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) among the servants of the Great House (Pharaoh) made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

21 And he that regarded not the word of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) left his servants and his cattle in the field.

22 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Stretch forth your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Double Straights (Egypt), upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Double Straights (Egypt).”

23 So Drawn (Moses) stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) allowed thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) rained hail upon the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

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 Double Straights (Egypt) since it became a nation.

25 The hail killed throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) all that were in the field, both man and beast; and the hail destroyed every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

26 Only in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen), where the children of God Prevails (Israel) were, was there no hail.

27 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) sent, and called for Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), and said to them, “I have sinned this time: I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28 Intreat I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”

29 Drawn (Moses) said to him, “As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah).

30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym).”

31 The flax and the barley were destroyed: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was budding.

32 But the wheat and the rye were not destroyed: for they were not grown up.

33 Drawn (Moses) went out of the city from the Great House (Pharaoh), and spread his hands out to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was quit pouring on the earth.

34 When the Great House (Pharaoh) saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

35 And the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh) was hardened, neither would he let the children of God Prevails (Israel) go; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had spoken by Drawn (Moses).
