15. Surely by now I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth.
16. However, I have let you stand for this reason: to show you My power, and that My Name might be proclaimed throughout all the earth.
17. Yet still you exalt yourself over My people, by not letting them go.
18. Behold, tomorrow at about this time, I will cause it to rain a very severe hailstorm, the likes of which has not occurred in Egypt since the day it was founded until now.

22. Then Adonai said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven and let there be hail in all the land of Egypt, on people, animals and every plant of the field, throughout all the land.”
