Exodus 9
Christian Standard Bible
The Fifth Plague: Death of Livestock
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him: This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. 2 But if you refuse to let them go and keep holding them, 3 then the Lord’s hand will bring a severe plague against your livestock in the field—the horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks. 4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that the Israelites own will die.” 5 And the Lord set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”(A) 6 The Lord did this the next day. All the Egyptian livestock died,(B) but none among the Israelite livestock died. 7 Pharaoh sent messengers who saw that not a single one of the Israelite livestock was dead. But Pharaoh’s heart was hard,(C) and he did not let the people go.
The Sixth Plague: Boils
8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of furnace soot, and Moses is to throw it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 It will become fine dust over the entire land of Egypt. It will become festering boils(D) on people and animals throughout the land of Egypt.” 10 So they took furnace soot and stood before Pharaoh. Moses threw it toward heaven, and it became festering boils on people and animals. 11 The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians as well as on all the Egyptians.(E) 12 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart(F) and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had told Moses.
The Seventh Plague: Hail
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and present yourself to Pharaoh. Tell him: This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. 14 For this time I am about to send all my plagues against you,[a] your officials, and your people. Then you will know there is no one like me on the whole earth. 15 By now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague, and you would have been obliterated from the earth.(G) 16 However, I have let you live for this purpose: to show you my power(H) and to make my name known on the whole earth. 17 You are still acting arrogantly against[b] my people by not letting them go. 18 Tomorrow at this time I will rain down the worst hail(I) that has ever occurred in Egypt from the day it was founded until now. 19 Therefore give orders to bring your livestock and all that you have in the field into shelters. Every person and animal that is in the field and not brought inside will die when the hail falls on them.” 20 Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the Lord made their servants and livestock flee to shelters, 21 but those who didn’t take to heart the Lord’s word left their servants and livestock in the field.
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven and let there be hail throughout the land of Egypt—on people and animals and every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.” 23 So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail.(J) Lightning struck the land, and the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 The hail, with lightning flashing through it, was so severe that nothing like it had occurred in the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. 25 Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both people and animals. The hail beat down every plant of the field and shattered every tree in the field. 26 The only place it didn’t hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.(K)
27 Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. “I have sinned this time,” he said to them. “The Lord is the righteous(L) one, and I and my people are the guilty ones. 28 Make an appeal to the Lord. There has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go;(M) you don’t need to stay any longer.”
29 Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands(N) to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know the earth[c](O) belongs to the Lord. 30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the Lord God.”
31 The flax and the barley were destroyed because the barley was ripe[d] and the flax was budding,(P) 32 but the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed since they are later crops.[e]
33 Moses left Pharaoh and the city, and spread out his hands to the Lord. Then the thunder and hail ceased, and rain no longer poured down on the land. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart, he and his officials. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he did not let the Israelites go, as the Lord had said through Moses.
Exodus 9
New International Version
The Plague on Livestock
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship(A) me.” 2 If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, 3 the hand(B) of the Lord will bring a terrible plague(C) on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats. 4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt,(D) so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5 The Lord set a time and said, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.” 6 And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock(E) of the Egyptians died,(F) but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. 7 Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died. Yet his heart(G) was unyielding and he would not let the people go.(H)
The Plague of Boils
8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. 9 It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils(I) will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
10 So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on people and animals. 11 The magicians(J) could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians. 12 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart(K) and he would not listen(L) to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said to Moses.
The Plague of Hail
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship(M) me, 14 or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know(N) that there is no one like(O) me in all the earth. 15 For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people(P) with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. 16 But I have raised you up[a] for this very purpose,(Q) that I might show you my power(R) and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. 17 You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. 18 Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm(S) that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now.(T) 19 Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every person and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.’”
20 Those officials of Pharaoh who feared(U) the word of the Lord hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. 21 But those who ignored(V) the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field.
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on people and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.” 23 When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder(W) and hail,(X) and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; 24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.(Y) 25 Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree.(Z) 26 The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen,(AA) where the Israelites were.(AB)
27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,”(AC) he said to them. “The Lord is in the right,(AD) and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Pray(AE) to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go;(AF) you don’t have to stay any longer.”
29 Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands(AG) in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth(AH) is the Lord’s. 30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear(AI) the Lord God.”
31 (The flax and barley(AJ) were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. 32 The wheat and spelt,(AK) however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart(AL) was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

The Fifth Plague: Livestock Diseased
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, (A)“Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may (B)serve Me. 2 For if you (C)refuse to let them go, and still hold them, 3 behold, the (D)hand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep—a very severe pestilence. 4 And (E)the Lord will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.” ’ ” 5 Then the Lord appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”
6 So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and (F)all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died. 7 Then Pharaoh sent, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. But the (G)heart of Pharaoh became hard, and he did not let the people go.
The Sixth Plague: Boils(H)
8 So the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt, and it will cause (I)boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.” 10 Then they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them toward heaven. And they caused (J)boils that break out in sores on man and beast. 11 And the (K)magicians could not stand before Moses because of the (L)boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians. 12 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; and he (M)did not heed them, just (N)as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
The Seventh Plague: Hail
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, (O)“Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may (P)serve Me, 14 for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, (Q)that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth. 15 Now if I had (R)stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with (S)pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. 16 But indeed for (T)this purpose I have raised you up, that I may (U)show My power in you, and that My (V)name may be declared in all the earth. 17 As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go. 18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now. 19 Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home; and they shall die.” ’ ”
20 He who (W)feared the word of the Lord among the (X)servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses. 21 But he who did not regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be (Y)hail in all the land of Egypt—on man, on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.” 23 And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven; and (Z)the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire darted to the ground. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so very heavy that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the (AA)hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field. 26 (AB)Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sent and (AC)called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, (AD)“I have sinned this time. (AE)The Lord is righteous, and my people and I are wicked. 28 (AF)Entreat[a] the Lord, that there may be no more [b]mighty thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you (AG)go, and you shall stay no longer.”
29 So Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will (AH)spread out my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the (AI)earth is the Lord’s. 30 But as for you and your servants, (AJ)I know that you will not yet fear the Lord God.”
31 Now the flax and the barley were struck, (AK)for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud. 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are [c]late crops.
33 So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and (AL)spread out his hands to the Lord; then the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth. 34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet more; and he hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 So (AM)the heart of Pharaoh was hard; neither would he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had spoken by Moses.

Quinta plaga: la peste en el ganado
9 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: Ve a Faraón y dile: «Así dice el Señor, el Dios de los hebreos: “Deja ir a mi pueblo para que me sirva(A). 2 Porque si te niegas a dejarlos ir(B) y los sigues deteniendo[a], 3 he aquí, la mano del Señor vendrá[b] con gravísima pestilencia(C) sobre tus ganados que están en el campo: sobre los caballos, sobre los asnos, sobre los camellos, sobre las vacadas y sobre las ovejas. 4 Pero el Señor hará distinción entre los ganados de Israel y los ganados de Egipto(D), y nada perecerá de todo lo que pertenece a los hijos de Israel(E)”». 5 Y el Señor fijó un plazo definido, diciendo: Mañana el Señor hará esto en la tierra. 6 Y el Señor hizo esto al día siguiente, y perecieron todos los ganados de Egipto(F); pero de los ganados de los hijos de Israel, ni un solo animal murió(G). 7 Y Faraón envió a ver, y he aquí, ni un solo animal de los ganados de Israel había perecido. Pero el corazón de Faraón se endureció[c] y no dejó ir al pueblo(H).
Sexta plaga: las úlceras
8 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: Tomad puñados de hollín de un horno, y que Moisés lo esparza hacia el cielo en presencia de Faraón; 9 y se convertirá en polvo fino sobre toda la tierra de Egipto, y producirá[d] furúnculos que resultarán en[e] úlceras en los hombres y en los animales, por toda la tierra de Egipto(I). 10 Tomaron, pues, hollín de un horno, y se presentaron[f] delante de Faraón, y Moisés lo arrojó hacia el cielo, y produjo[g] furúnculos que resultaron en[h] úlceras en los hombres y en los animales. 11 Y los magos[i] no podían estar delante de Moisés a causa de los furúnculos, pues los furúnculos estaban tanto en los magos[j] como en todos los egipcios(J). 12 Y el Señor endureció[k] el corazón de Faraón y no los escuchó, tal como el Señor había dicho a Moisés(K).
Séptima plaga: el granizo
13 Entonces dijo el Señor a Moisés: Levántate muy de mañana, y ponte delante de Faraón, y dile: «Así dice el Señor, el Dios de los hebreos: “Deja ir a mi pueblo para que me sirva(L). 14 Porque esta vez enviaré todas mis plagas sobre ti[l], sobre tus siervos y sobre tu pueblo, para que sepas que no hay otro como yo en toda la tierra(M). 15 Porque si yo hubiera extendido mi mano y te hubiera herido a ti y a tu pueblo con pestilencia, ya habrías sido cortado de la tierra. 16 Pero en verdad, por esta razón te he permitido permanecer[m]: para mostrarte mi poder(N) y para proclamar mi nombre por toda la tierra. 17 Y todavía te enalteces contra mi pueblo no dejándolos[n] ir. 18 He aquí, mañana como a esta hora, enviaré[o] granizo muy pesado, tal como no ha habido en Egipto desde el día en que fue fundado hasta[p] ahora(O). 19 Ahora pues, manda poner a salvo tus ganados(P) y todo lo que tienes en el campo, porque todo hombre o[q] todo animal que se encuentre en el campo, y no sea traído a la casa, morirá cuando caiga sobre ellos el granizo(Q)”». 20 El que de entre los siervos de Faraón tuvo temor de[r] la palabra del Señor(R), hizo poner a salvo a sus siervos y sus ganados en sus[s] casas, 21 pero el que no hizo caso a[t] la palabra del Señor, dejó[u] a sus siervos y sus ganados en el campo.
22 Y el Señor dijo a Moisés: Extiende tu mano hacia el cielo para que caiga[v] granizo(S) en toda la tierra de Egipto, sobre los hombres, sobre los animales y sobre toda planta del campo por toda la tierra de Egipto. 23 Y extendió Moisés su vara hacia el cielo, y el Señor envió[w] truenos[x] y granizo, y cayó fuego sobre la tierra. Y el Señor hizo llover granizo(T) sobre la tierra de Egipto. 24 Y hubo granizo muy intenso, y fuego centelleando continuamente[y] en medio del granizo, muy pesado, tal como no había habido en toda la tierra de Egipto desde que llegó a ser una nación. 25 Y el granizo hirió todo lo que había en el campo por toda la tierra de Egipto, tanto hombres como animales; el granizo hirió también toda planta del campo, y destrozó todos los árboles del campo(U). 26 solo en la tierra de Gosén, donde estaban los hijos de Israel, no hubo granizo(V).
27 Entonces Faraón envió llamar a Moisés y Aarón y les dijo(W): Esta vez he pecado; el Señor es el justo(X), y yo y mi pueblo somos los impíos. 28 Rogad al Señor(Y), porque ha habido ya suficientes truenos y granizo de parte de Dios; y os dejaré ir y no os quedaréis(Z) más aquí. 29 Y Moisés le dijo: Tan pronto como yo salga de la ciudad, extenderé mis manos[z](AA) al Señor; los truenos cesarán, y no habrá más granizo, para que sepas que la tierra es del Señor(AB). 30 En cuanto a ti y a tus siervos, sé que aún no teméis[aa] al[ab] Señor Dios(AC). 31 (Y el lino y la cebada fueron destruidos[ac], pues la cebada estaba en espiga(AD) y el lino estaba en flor; 32 pero el trigo y el centeno no fueron destruidos[ad], por ser tardíos.) 33 Y salió Moisés de la ciudad, de la presencia de Faraón, y extendió sus manos[ae] al Señor, y los truenos y el granizo cesaron(AE), y no cayó más[af] lluvia sobre la tierra. 34 Pero cuando Faraón vio que la lluvia, el granizo y los truenos habían cesado, pecó otra vez, y endureció[ag] su corazón, tanto él como[ah] sus siervos. 35 Y se endureció[ai] el corazón de Faraón y no dejó ir a los hijos de Israel, tal como el Señor había dicho por medio[aj] de Moisés(AF).
