Chapter 9

1Hashem said to Moshe, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says Hashem, the God of the Hebrews: Let My people go to worship Me.

2For if you refuse to let them go, and continue to hold them,

3then the hand of Hashem will strike your livestock in the fields—the horses, the asses, the camels, the cattle, and the sheep—with a very severe pestilence.

4But Hashem will make a distinction between the livestock of Yisrael and the livestock of the Egyptians, so that nothing shall die of all that belongs to the Israelites.

akh-ba-SAR b'-NAF-sho da-MO lo to-KHE-lu

5Hashem has fixed the time: tomorrow Hashem will do this thing in the land.'”

הוַיָּ֥שֶׂם יְהֹוָ֖ה מוֹעֵ֣ד לֵאמֹ֑ר מָחָ֗ר יַעֲשֶׂ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּ֖ה בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

6And Hashem did so the next day: all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but of the livestock of the Israelites not a beast died.

7When Pharaoh inquired, he found that not a head of the livestock of Yisrael had died; yet Pharaoh remained stubborn, and he would not let the people go.

8Then Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon, “Each of you take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moshe throw it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.

9It shall become a fine dust all over the land of Egypt, and cause an inflammation breaking out in boils on man and beast throughout the land of Egypt.”

10So they took soot of the kiln and appeared before Pharaoh; Moshe threw it toward the sky, and it caused an inflammation breaking out in boils on man and beast.

11The magicians were unable to confront Moshe because of the inflammation, for the inflammation afflicted the magicians as well as all the other Egyptians.

12But Hashem stiffened the heart of Pharaoh, and he would not heed them, just as Hashem had told Moshe.

13Hashem said to Moshe, “Early in the morning present yourself to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says Hashem, the God of the Hebrews: Let My people go to worship Me.

14For this time I will send all My plagues upon your person, and your courtiers, and your people, in order that you may know that there is none like Me in all the world.

19Therefore, order your livestock and everything you have in the open brought under shelter; every man and beast that is found outside, not having been brought indoors, shall perish when the hail comes down upon them!'”

20Those among Pharaoh's courtiers who feared Hashem's word brought their slaves and livestock indoors to safety;

21but those who paid no regard to the word of Hashem left their slaves and livestock in the open.

22Hashem said to Moshe, “Hold out your arm toward the sky that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, upon man and beast and all the grasses of the field in the land of Egypt.”

23So Moshe held out his rod toward the sky, and Hashem sent thunder and hail, and fire streamed down to the ground, as Hashem rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.

24The hail was very heavy—fire flashing in the midst of the hail—such as had not fallen on the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.

25Throughout the land of Egypt the hail struck down all that were in the open, both man and beast; the hail also struck down all the grasses of the field and shattered all the trees of the field.

26Only in the region of Goshen, where the Israelites were, there was no hail.

27Thereupon Pharaoh sent for Moshe and Aharon and said to them, “I stand guilty this time. Hashem is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.

29Moshe said to him, “As I go out of the city, I shall spread out my hands to Hashem; the thunder will cease and the hail will fall no more, so that you may know that the earth is Hashem's.

31Now the flax and barley were ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud;

32but the wheat and the emmer were not hurt, for they ripen late.

33Leaving Pharaoh, Moshe went outside the city and spread out his hands to Hashem: the thunder and the hail ceased, and no rain came pouring down upon the earth.

34But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he became stubborn and reverted to his guilty ways, as did his courtiers.

35So Pharaoh's heart stiffened and he would not let the Israelites go, just as Hashem had foretold through Moshe.
