Exodus 9:20-29 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

20. The one among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses;

21. but he who paid no regard to the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.

22. Now the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."

23. Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.

24. So there was hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25. The hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, both man and beast; the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field.

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

27. Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time; the Lord is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones.

28. Make supplication to the Lord, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."

29. Moses said to him, "As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease and there will be hail no longer, that you may know that the earth is the Lord's.
