13耶和華對摩西說：「明天一早你再去見法老，對他說，『希伯來人的上帝耶和華這樣說，你要讓我的子民出去事奉我。14這一次，我要降下大災禍在你及你的臣僕和百姓身上，好叫你知道普天之下我獨一無二。15我若用瘟疫攻擊你和你的百姓，你們早就滅亡了。16我讓你活到現在，是為了向你彰顯我的權能，使我的名傳遍天下。17但你竟然在我的子民面前狂傲自大，不讓他們離開。18明天這個時候，我要使天上降下大冰雹，是你們埃及立國以來從沒有見過的。19現在，你要叫人趕快到田間把牲畜和屬於你的一切都帶到安全的地方。凡留在田間的人或牲畜都會被冰雹打死。』」20有些法老的臣僕聽了耶和華的話就很害怕，趕忙把在田間的僕人和牲畜都召回屋裡。21但那些不把耶和華的話放在心上的，仍把他們的奴僕和牲畜留在田間。22耶和華對摩西說：「你向天伸杖，天就會降下冰雹，落在埃及的一切人畜身上，摧毀田間的一切農作物。」23摩西向天伸出手杖，耶和華就發出雷電和冰雹，火光飛向大地。耶和華在埃及降下冰雹。24那時冰雹夾雜著火降下來，極為嚴重，在埃及史無前例。25冰雹摧毀了埃及境內田間的一切，包括人和牲畜，摧毀了田裡的一切作物，打斷了所有的樹木，26只有以色列人所住的歌珊沒有冰雹。27法老派人召來摩西和亞倫，對他們說：「這次我犯罪了，耶和華是對的，我和我的百姓錯了。28請你們向耶和華禱告，好止住雷電和冰雹。我准許以色列人出去，你們不必再留在這裡了。」29摩西回答說：「我一出城，就向耶和華舉手禱告，雷電和冰雹必立刻停止，這樣你就知道普天下都屬於耶和華。30但我知道你和你的臣僕還是不敬畏上帝耶和華。」31這場冰雹發生在大麥吐穗和亞麻開花的時候。32小麥和粗麥較晚成熟，沒有被冰雹打壞。33摩西離開法老，走出城外向耶和華舉手禱告，雷和冰雹便停止了，豪雨也不下了。34法老看見災禍停止，就又犯罪，他和他的臣僕都心裡頑固。35法老硬著心，不讓以色列人離開，正如耶和華藉摩西所言。

The Fifth Plague: Egyptian Livestock Die
1Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.2For if you refuse to let them go and still hold them,3behold, the hand of the Lord will fall with a very severe plague upon your livestock that are in the field, the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks.4But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die.”’”5And the Lord set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”6And the next day the Lord did this thing. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one of the livestock of the people of Israel died.7And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
The Sixth Plague: Boils
8And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moses throw them in the air in the sight of Pharaoh.9It shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.”10So they took soot from the kiln and stood before Pharaoh. And Moses threw it in the air, and it became boils breaking out in sores on man and beast.11And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils came upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians.12But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
The Seventh Plague: Hail
13Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.14For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself,* and on your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.15For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth.16But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.17You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go.18Behold, about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall, such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.19Now therefore send, get your livestock and all that you have in the field into safe shelter, for every man and beast that is in the field and is not brought home will die when the hail falls on them.”’”20Then whoever feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses,21but whoever did not pay attention to the word of the Lord left his slaves and his livestock in the field.22Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and beast and every plant of the field, in the land of Egypt.”23Then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.24There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.25The hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field.26Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were, was there no hail.27Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “This time I have sinned; the Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.28Plead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”29Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.30But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.”31(The flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.32But the wheat and the emmer* were not struck down, for they are late in coming up.)33So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured upon the earth.34But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and hardened his heart, he and his servants.35So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people of Israel go, just as the Lord had spoken through Moses.
