1The Lord sent Moses with this message for the king of Egypt:
The Lord God of the Hebrews commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him.
2If you keep refusing,
3he will bring a terrible disease on your horses and donkeys, your camels and cattle, and your sheep and goats.
4But the Lord will protect the animals that belong to the people of Israel, and none of theirs will die.
5Tomorrow is the day the Lord has set to do this.
6It happened the next day—all of the animals belonging to the Egyptians died, but the Israelites did not lose even one.
7When the king found out, he was still too stubborn to let the people go.
Sores8The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
Take a few handfuls of ashes from a stove and you, Moses, throw them into the air. Be sure the king is watching.
9The ashes will blow across the land of Egypt, causing sores to break out on people and animals.
10 Moses threw them into the air, and sores immediately broke out on the Egyptians and their animals.
11The magicians were suffering so much from the sores, that they could not even come to Moses.
12Everything happened just as the Lord had told Moses—he made the king too stubborn to listen to Moses and Aaron.
Hailstones13The Lord told Moses to get up early the next morning and say to the king:
The Lord God of the Hebrews commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him!
14If you don't, he will send his worst plagues to strike you, your officials, and everyone else in your country. Then you will find out that no one can oppose the Lord.
15In fact, he could already have sent a terrible disease and wiped you from the face of the earth.
16 ripen later, and they were not damaged.
33After Moses left the royal palace and the city, he lifted his arms in prayer to the Lord, and the thunder, hail, and drenching rain stopped.
34When the king realized that the storm was over, he disobeyed once more. He and his officials were so stubborn
35that he refused to let the Israelites go. This was exactly what the Lord had said would happen.
