18. Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19. Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. Every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die.”’”
20. Those who feared the Lord’s word amongst the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21. Whoever didn’t respect the Lord’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
22. The Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
23. Moses stretched out his rod towards the heavens, and the Lord sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24. So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25. The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27. Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28. Pray to the Lord; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
