10. So they took ashes from the furnace, and they stood in front of Pharaoh. Moses threw the ash up in the air, and it caused skin sores and blisters to break out on people and animals.
11. The religious experts couldn’t stand up to Moses because of the skin sores, because there were skin sores on the religious experts as well as on all the Egyptians.
12. But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and Pharaoh wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had said to Moses.
13. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh. Say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they can worship me.
14. This time I’m going to send all my plagues on you, your officials, and your people so that you will know that there is no one like me in the whole world.
15. By now I could have used my power to strike you and your people with a deadly disease so that you would have disappeared from the earth.
16. But I’ve left you standing for this reason: in order to show you my power and in order to make my name known in the whole world.
17. You are still abusing your power against my people, and you refuse to let them go.
18. Tomorrow at this time I’ll cause the heaviest hail to fall on Egypt that has ever fallen from the day Egypt was founded until now.
19. So bring under shelter your livestock and all that belongs to you that is out in the open. Every person or animal that is out in the open field and isn’t brought inside will die when the hail rains down on them."
20. Some of Pharaoh’s officials who took the Lord’s word seriously rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside for shelter.
21. Others who didn’t take the Lord’s word to heart left their servants and livestock out in the open field.
