23. And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the Lord raised his voice and it hailed, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of 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 Egypt since it became inhabited.
25. And that hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and beasts; and the hail smote all the grass of the field and broke all the trees of the field.
26. Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.
27. Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them, I have sinned this time; the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28. Intreat the Lord that the thunderings of God and the hail might cease; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay here no longer.
29. And Moses replied unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will extend my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou may know how that the earth is the Lord’s.
30. But I know thee and thy slaves from before ye began to fear the presence of the Lord God.

33. And Moses went out from the presence of Pharaoh and out of the city and extended his hands unto the Lord; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
