Exodus 9:18-25

NSB(i) 18 »At 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. 19 »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 will die from the hail.« 20 The ones among the servants of Pharaoh who respected the word of Jehovah made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses. 21 He who paid no regard to the word of Jehovah left his servants and his livestock in the field. 22 Jehovah said to Moses: »Stretch out your hand toward the sky. Hail will fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.« 23 Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky. Then Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 It hailed, and lightning flashed while it hailed. This was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. 25 All over Egypt the hail knocked down everything that was out in the open. It struck down people, animals, and every plant in the fields and destroyed every tree in the fields.
