Exodus 9 — Context

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 none like me in all the earth.

15

For now I would have put forth 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

as 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. 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."'"
