Egyptian
Cattle Die |
|
|
 |
| Exodus 9:1 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh
and speak to him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, "Let My people
go, that they may serve Me. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:2 |
|
"For if you refuse to let them go and continue
to hold them, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:3 |
|
behold, the hand of the LORD will come with
a very severe pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses,
on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:4 |
|
"But the LORD will make a distinction between
the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of
all that belongs to the sons of Israel."'" |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:5 |
|
The LORD set a definite time, saying, "Tomorrow
the LORD will do this thing in the land." |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:6 |
|
So the LORD did this thing on the next day,
and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel,
not one died. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:7 |
|
Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not even
one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and
he did not let the people go. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Plague of Boils |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:8 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Take
for yourselves handfuls of soot from a kiln, and let Moses throw it toward the
sky in the sight of Pharaoh. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:9 |
|
"It will become fine dust over all the land
of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through
all the land of Egypt." |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:10 |
|
So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before
Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with
sores on man and beast. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:11 |
|
The magicians could not stand before Moses because
of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians as well as on all the Egyptians. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:12 |
|
And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he
did not listen to them, just as the LORD had spoken to Moses. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:13 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early
in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, the
God of the Hebrews, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:14 |
|
"For this time I will send all My plagues on
you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one
like Me in all the earth. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:15 |
|
"For if by now I had put forth My hand and struck
you and your people with pestilence, you would then have been cut off from the
earth. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:16 |
|
"But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed
you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name
through all the earth. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:17 |
|
"Still you exalt yourself against My people
by not letting them go. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Plague of Hail |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:18 |
|
"Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send
a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded
until now. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:19 |
|
"Now therefore send, bring your livestock and
whatever you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in
the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die."'"
|
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:20 |
|
The one among the servants of Pharaoh who feared
the word of the LORD made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses;
|
| |
|
|
| Exodus 9:21 |
|
but he who paid no regard to the word of the
LORD left his servants and his livestock in the field. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:22 |
|
Now the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your
hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on
beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:23 |
|
Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky,
and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the LORD
rained hail on the land of Egypt. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:24 |
|
So there was hail, and fire flashing continually
in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of
Egypt since it became a nation. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:25 |
|
The hail struck all that was in the field through
all the land of Egypt, both man and beast; the hail also struck every plant of
the field and shattered every tree of the field. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:26 |
|
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of
Israel were, there was no hail. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:27 |
|
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said
to them, "I have sinned this time; the LORD is the righteous one, and I and my
people are the wicked ones. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:28 |
|
"Make supplication to the LORD, for there has
been enough of God's thunder and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay
no longer." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:29 |
|
Moses said to him, "As soon as I go out of the
city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD; the thunder will cease and there
will be hail no longer, that you may know that the earth is the LORD'S. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:30 |
|
"But as for you and your servants, I know that
you do not yet fear the LORD God." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:31 |
|
(Now the flax and the barley were ruined, for
the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:32 |
|
But the wheat and the spelt were not ruined,
for they ripen late.) |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:33 |
|
So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh,
and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunder and the hail ceased, and
rain no longer poured on the earth. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:34 |
|
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail
and the thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart, he and his
servants. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 9:35 |
|
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not
let the sons of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses. |
