24. There was hail and lightning flashing here and there through the hail, and the hail was so fierce that nothing like it had been seen in Egypt since it became a nation.
25. Throughout the land of Egypt the hail struck down everything in the fields, human being and beast alike; it struck down all the vegetation of the fields and splintered every tree in the fields.
26. Only in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were, was there no hail.
27. Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time! The Lord is the just one, and I and my people are the ones at fault.
28. Pray to the Lord! Enough of the thunder and hail! I will let you go; you need stay no longer.”
29. Moses replied to him, “As soon as I leave the city I will extend my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail so that you may know that the earth belongs to the Lord.
30. But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.”
