Exodus 9 (WEBP)
[1] Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
[2] For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
[3] behold, Yahweh’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
[4] Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.” ’ ”
[5] Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh shall do this thing in the land.”
[6] Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
[7] Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.
[8] Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
[9] It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”
[10] They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
[11] The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
[12] Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.
[13] Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
[14] For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
[15] For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
[16] but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
[17] because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.
[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. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.” ’ ”
[20] Those who feared Yahweh’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
[21] Whoever didn’t respect Yahweh’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
[22] Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward 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 toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh 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. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
[28] Pray to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
[29] Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s.
[30] But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear Yahweh God.”
[31] The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
[32] But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
[33] Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
[34] When 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] The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.

Exodus 9 (KJVS)
[1] Then the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, Go H935 (8798) in unto Pharaoh H6547, and tell H1696 (8765) him, Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 God H430 of the Hebrews H5680, Let my people H5971 go H7971 (8761), that they may serve H5647 (8799) me.
[2] For if thou refuse H3986 to let [them] go H7971 (8763), and wilt hold H2388 (8688) them still,
[3] Behold, the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 is H1961 (8802) upon thy cattle H4735 which [is] in the field H7704, upon the horses H5483, upon the asses H2543, upon the camels H1581, upon the oxen H1241, and upon the sheep H6629: [there shall be] a very H3966 grievous H3515 murrain H1698.
[4] And the LORD H3068 shall sever H6395 (8689) between the cattle H4735 of Israel H3478 and the cattle H4735 of Egypt H4714: and there shall nothing H1697 die H4191 (8799) of all [that is] the children’s H1121 of Israel H3478.
[5] And the LORD H3068 appointed H7760 (8799) a set time H4150, saying H559 (8800), To morrow H4279 the LORD H3068 shall do H6213 (8799) this thing H1697 in the land H776.
[6] And the LORD H3068 did H6213 (8799) that thing H1697 on the morrow H4283, and all the cattle H4735 of Egypt H4714 died H4191 (8799): but of the cattle H4735 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 died H4191 (8804) not one H259.
[7] And Pharaoh H6547 sent H7971 (8799), and, behold, there was not one H259 of the cattle H4735 of the Israelites H3478 dead H4191 (8804). And the heart H3820 of Pharaoh H6547 was hardened H3513 (8799), and he did not let the people H5971 go H7971 (8765).
[8] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872 and unto Aaron H175, Take H3947 (8798) to you handfuls H2651 H4393 of ashes H6368 of the furnace H3536, and let Moses H4872 sprinkle H2236 (8804) it toward the heaven H8064 in the sight H5869 of Pharaoh H6547.
[9] And it shall become small dust H80 in all the land H776 of Egypt H4714, and shall be a boil H7822 breaking forth H6524 (8802) [with] blains H76 upon man H120, and upon beast H929, throughout all the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
[10] And they took H3947 (8799) ashes H6368 of the furnace H3536, and stood H5975 (8799) before H6440 Pharaoh H6547; and Moses H4872 sprinkled H2236 (8799) it up toward heaven H8064; and it became a boil H7822 breaking forth H6524 (8802) [with] blains H76 upon man H120, and upon beast H929.
[11] And the magicians H2748 could H3201 (8804) not stand H5975 (8800) before H6440 Moses H4872 because H6440 of the boils H7822; for the boil H7822 was upon the magicians H2748, and upon all the Egyptians H4714.
[12] And the LORD H3068 hardened H2388 (8762) the heart H3820 of Pharaoh H6547, and he hearkened H8085 (8804) not unto them; as the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 (8765) unto Moses H4872.
[13] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, Rise up early H7925 (8685) in the morning H1242, and stand H3320 (8690) before H6440 Pharaoh H6547, and say H559 (8804) unto him, Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 God H430 of the Hebrews H5680, Let my people H5971 go H7971 (8761), that they may serve H5647 (8799) me.
[14] For I will at this time H6471 send H7971 (8802) all my plagues H4046 upon thine heart H3820, and upon thy servants H5650, and upon thy people H5971; that thou mayest know H3045 (8799) that [there is] none like me in all the earth H776.
[15] For now I will stretch out H7971 (8804) my hand H3027, that I may smite H5221 (8686) thee and thy people H5971 with pestilence H1698; and thou shalt be cut off H3582 (8735) from the earth H776.
[16] And in very H199 deed H5668 for this [cause] have I raised thee up H5975 (8689), for to shew H7200 (8687) [in] thee my power H3581; and that my name H8034 may be declared H5608 (8763) throughout all the earth H776.
[17] As yet exaltest H5549 (8706) thou thyself against my people H5971, that thou wilt not let them go H7971 (8763)?
[18] Behold, to morrow H4279 about this time H6256 I will cause it to rain H4305 (8688) a very H3966 grievous H3515 hail H1259, such as hath not been H3644 in Egypt H4714 since H4480 the foundation H3117 H3245 (8736) thereof even until now.
[19] Send H7971 (8798) therefore now, [and] gather H5756 (8685) thy cattle H4735, and all that thou hast in the field H7704; [for upon] every man H120 and beast H929 which shall be found H4672 (8735) in the field H7704, and shall not be brought H622 (8735) home H1004, the hail H1259 shall come down H3381 (8804) upon them, and they shall die H4191 (8804).
[20] He that feared H3373 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 among the servants H5650 of Pharaoh H6547 made his servants H5650 and his cattle H4735 flee H5127 (8689) into the houses H1004:
[21] And he that regarded H7760 (8804) H3820 not the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 left H5800 (8799) his servants H5650 and his cattle H4735 in the field H7704.
[22] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, Stretch forth H5186 (8798) thine hand H3027 toward heaven H8064, that there may be hail H1259 in all the land H776 of Egypt H4714, upon man H120, and upon beast H929, and upon every herb H6212 of the field H7704, throughout the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
[23] And Moses H4872 stretched forth H5186 (8799) his rod H4294 toward heaven H8064: and the LORD H3068 sent H5414 (8804) thunder H6963 and hail H1259, and the fire H784 ran along H1980 (8799) upon the ground H776; and the LORD H3068 rained H4305 (8686) hail H1259 upon the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
[24] So there was hail H1259, and fire H784 H3947 (8693) mingled H8432 with the hail H1259, very H3966 grievous H3515, such as there was none H3808 like it in all the land H776 of Egypt H4714 since it became a nation H1471.
[25] And the hail H1259 smote H5221 (8686) throughout all the land H776 of Egypt H4714 all that [was] in the field H7704, both man H120 and beast H929; and the hail H1259 smote H5221 (8689) every herb H6212 of the field H7704, and brake H7665 (8765) every tree H6086 of the field H7704.
[26] Only in the land H776 of Goshen H1657, where the children H1121 of Israel H3478 [were], was there no hail H1259.
[27] And Pharaoh H6547 sent H7971 (8799), and called H7121 (8799) for Moses H4872 and Aaron H175, and said H559 (8799) unto them, I have sinned H2398 (8804) this time H6471: the LORD H3068 [is] righteous H6662, and I and my people H5971 [are] wicked H7563.
[28] Intreat H6279 (8685) the LORD H3068 (for [it is] enough H7227) that there be no [more] mighty H430 thunderings H6963 and hail H1259; and I will let you go H7971 (8762), and ye shall stay H5975 (8800) no longer H3254 (8686).
[29] And Moses H4872 said H559 (8799) unto him, As soon as I am gone out H3318 (8800) of the city H5892, I will spread abroad H6566 (8799) my hands H3709 unto the LORD H3068; [and] the thunder H6963 shall cease H2308 (8799), neither shall there be any more hail H1259; that thou mayest know H3045 (8799) how that the earth H776 [is] the LORD’S H3068.
[30] But as for thee and thy servants H5650, I know H3045 (8804) that ye will not yet fear H3372 (8799) H6440 the LORD H3068 God H430.
[31] And the flax H6594 and the barley H8184 was smitten H5221 (8795): for the barley H8184 [was] in the ear H24, and the flax H6594 [was] bolled H1392.
[32] But the wheat H2406 and the rie H3698 were not smitten H5221 (8795): for they H2007 [were] not grown up H648.
[33] And Moses H4872 went out H3318 (8799) of the city H5892 from Pharaoh H6547, and spread abroad H6566 (8799) his hands H3709 unto the LORD H3068: and the thunders H6963 and hail H1259 ceased H2308 (8799), and the rain H4306 was not poured H5413 (8738) upon the earth H776.
[34] And when Pharaoh H6547 saw H7200 (8799) that the rain H4306 and the hail H1259 and the thunders H6963 were ceased H2308 (8804), he sinned H2398 (8800) yet more H3254 (8686), and hardened H3513 (8686) his heart H3820, he and his servants H5650.
[35] And the heart H3820 of Pharaoh H6547 was hardened H2388 (8799), neither would he let the children H1121 of Israel H3478 go H7971 (8765); as the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 (8765) by H3027 Moses H4872.
Young’s Literal Translation
Exodus 9 (YLT)
[1] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Go in unto Pharaoh, and thou hast spoken unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Send My people away, and they serve me,
[2] for, if thou art refusing to send away, and art still keeping hold upon them,
[3] lo, the hand of Jehovah is on thy cattle which are in the field, on horses, on asses, on camels, on herd, and on flock-a pestilence very grievous.
[4] ‘And Jehovah hath separated between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there doth not die a thing of all the sons of Israel’s;
[5] and Jehovah setteth an appointed time, saying, To-morrow doth Jehovah do this thing in the land.’
[6] And Jehovah doth this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt die, and of the cattle of the sons of Israel not one hath died;
[7] and Pharaoh sendeth, and lo, not even one of the cattle of Israel hath died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he hath not sent the people away.
[8] And Jehovah saith unto Moses and unto Aaron, ‘Take to you the fulness of your hands of soot of a furnace, and Moses hath sprinkled it towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh,
[9] and it hath become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it hath become on man and on cattle a boil breaking forth with blains, in all the land of Egypt.’
[10] And they take the soot of the furnace, and stand before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkleth it towards the heavens, and it is a boil with blains, breaking forth, on man and on beast;
[11] and the scribes have not been able to stand before Moses, because of the boil, for the boil hath been on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
[12] And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses.
[13] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Rise early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Send My people away, and they serve Me,
[14] for, at this time I am sending all My plagues unto thy heart, and on thy servants, and on thy people, so that thou knowest that there is none like Me in all the earth,
[15] for now I have put forth My hand, and I smite thee, and thy people, with pestilence, and thou art hidden from the earth.
[16] ‘And yet for this I have caused thee to stand, so as to show thee My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in all the earth;
[17] still thou art exalting thyself against My people-so as not to send them away;
[18] lo, I am raining about this time to-morrow hail very grievous, such as hath not been in Egypt, even from the day of its being founded, even until now.
[19] ‘And, now, send, strengthen thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house-come down on them hath the hail, and they have died.’
[20] He who is fearing the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh hath caused his servants and his cattle to flee unto the houses;
[21] and he who hath not set his heart unto the word of Jehovah leaveth his servants and his cattle in the field.
[22] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Stretch forth thy hand towards the heavens, and there is hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.’
[23] And Moses stretcheth out his rod towards the heavens, and Jehovah hath given voices and hail, and fire goeth towards the earth, and Jehovah raineth hail on the land of Egypt,
[24] and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as hath not been in all the land of Egypt since it hath become a nation.
[25] And the hail smiteth in all the land of Egypt all that is in the field, from man even unto beast, and every herb of the field hath the hail smitten, and every tree of the field it hath broken;
[26] only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel are, there hath been no hail.
[27] And Pharaoh sendeth, and calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith unto them, ‘I have sinned this time, Jehovah is the Righteous, and I and my people are the Wicked,
[28] make ye supplication unto Jehovah, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and ye add not to remain.’
[29] And Moses saith unto him, ‘At my going out of the city, I spread my palms unto Jehovah-the voices cease, and the hail is not any more, so that thou knowest that the earth is Jehovah’s;
[30] but thou and thy servants-I have known that ye are not yet afraid of the face of Jehovah God.’
[31] And the flax and the barley have been smitten, for the barley is budding, and the flax forming flowers,
[32] and the wheat and the rye have not been smitten, for they are late.
[33] And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, from the city, and spreadeth his hands unto Jehovah, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain hath not been poured out to the earth;
[34] and Pharaoh seeth that the rain hath ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continueth to sin, and hardeneth his heart, he and his servants;
[35] and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
