Exodus 9:24

Verse 24 of 35. The 9th of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

20Those who feared the LORD’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.

21Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.

22The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”

23Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.

24So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

26Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

27Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Pray to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
