18 Behold, about this time tomorrow, (A)I will rain down very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded [a]until now. 19 So now, send, bring (B)your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. (C)Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, the hail will come down on them, and they will die.”’” 20 (D)The one among the servants of Pharaoh who [b]feared the word of Yahweh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses; 21 but he who did not [c]consider in his heart the word of Yahweh [d]left his servants and his livestock in the field.

22 Now Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that (E)there may be hail on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.” 23 So Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and Yahweh gave forth [e]thunder and (F)hail, and fire went down to the earth. And Yahweh rained down hail on the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire [f]flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 (G)And the hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, from man to beast; the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field.
