Exod.9.2
If you refuse to release them and continue to hold on to them,
Exod.9.2
If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back,
Exod.9.2
For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them,
Exod.9.2
If you continue to oppress them and refuse to let them go,
Exod.9.3

Exod.9.6
And the next day the LORD did it: All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
Exod.9.6
So the LORD did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
Exod.9.6

Exod.9.11
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians.
Exod.9.11

For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Exod.9.14
This time I am going to strike you and your servants and your people with the full force of my power so you'll get it into your head that there's no one like me anywhere in all the Earth.
Exod.9.14
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 that there is no one like me in all the earth.
Exod.9.14
for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.
Exod.9.14
If you don't, I will send a plague that will really speak to you and your officials and all the Egyptian people. I will prove to you that there is no other God like me in all the earth.
Exod.9.15
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Exod.9.15
You know that by now I could have struck you and your people with deadly disease and there would be nothing left of you, not a trace.
Exod.9.15
For 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.
Exod.9.15
Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth.
Exod.9.15
I could have killed you all by now. I could have attacked you with a plague that would have wiped you from the face of the earth.
Exod.9.16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Exod.9.16
But for one reason only I've kept you on your feet: To make you recognize my power so that my reputation spreads in all the Earth.
Exod.9.16
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Exod.9.16
But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.
Exod.9.16
But I have let you live for this reason--that you might see my power and that my fame might spread throughout the earth.
Exod.9.17
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Exod.9.17
You are still building yourself up at my people's expense. You are not letting them go.
Exod.9.17
You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go.
Exod.9.17
As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go.
Exod.9.17
But you are still lording it over my people, and you refuse to let them go.
Exod.9.18
Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

Exod.9.19
Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
Exod.9.19
So get your livestock under roof--everything exposed in the open fields, people and animals, will die when the hail comes down.'"
Exod.9.19
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 man and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.'"
Exod.9.19
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.""'
Exod.9.19
Quick! Order your livestock and servants to come in from the fields. Every person or animal left outside will die beneath the hail.'"
Exod.9.20
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Exod.9.20

Exod.9.20
Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside.

Exod.9.24
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Exod.9.24
The hail came, hail and lightning--a fierce hailstorm. There had been nothing like it in Egypt in its entire history.
Exod.9.24
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.
Exod.9.24
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.
Exod.9.24
Never in all the history of Egypt had there been a storm like that, with such severe hail and continuous lightning.
Exod.9.25
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Exod.9.25
The hail hit hard all over Egypt. Everything exposed out in the fields, people and animals and crops, was smashed. Even the trees in the fields were shattered.

And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Exod.9.27
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. He said, "I've sinned for sure this time--GOD is in the right and I and my people are in the wrong.
Exod.9.27
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. "This time I have sinned," he said to them. "The LORD is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.
Exod.9.27
And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.
Exod.9.27
Then Pharaoh urgently sent for Moses and Aaron. "I finally admit my fault," he confessed. "The LORD is right, and my people and I are wrong.
Exod.9.28
Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Exod.9.28
Pray to GOD. We've had enough of GOD's thunder and hail. I'll let you go. The sooner you're out of here the better."
Exod.9.28
Pray to the LORD, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don't have to stay any longer."
Exod.9.28
Entreat the LORD, that there may be no more mighty thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
Exod.9.28
Please beg the LORD to end this terrifying thunder and hail. I will let you go at once."
Exod.9.29
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD'S.
Exod.9.29
Moses said, "As soon as I'm out of the city, I'll stretch out my arms to GOD. The thunder will stop and the hail end so you'll know that the land is GOD's land.
Exod.9.29
Moses replied, "When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the LORD. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the LORD's.
Exod.9.29
So Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the earth is the LORD's.
Exod.9.29
"All right," Moses replied. "As soon as I leave the city, I will lift my hands and pray to the LORD. Then the thunder and hail will stop. This will prove to you that the earth belongs to the LORD.
Exod.9.30
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Exod.9.30
Still, I know that you and your servants have no respect for GOD."
Exod.9.30
But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the LORD God."
Exod.9.30
But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the LORD God."
Exod.9.30
But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD God as you should."
Exod.9.31
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
Exod.9.31
(The flax and the barley were ruined, for they were just ripening,
Exod.9.31
(The flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom.
Exod.9.31
Now the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud.
Exod.9.31
All the flax and barley were destroyed because the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom.
Exod.9.32
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
Exod.9.32
but the wheat and spelt weren't hurt--they ripen later.)
Exod.9.32
The wheat and spelt, however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
Exod.9.32
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.
Exod.9.32
But the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed because they had not yet sprouted from the ground.
Exod.9.33
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Exod.9.33
Moses left Pharaoh and the city and stretched out his arms to GOD. The thunder and hail stopped; the storm cleared.
Exod.9.33
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.
Exod.9.33
So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the LORD; then the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Exod.9.33
So Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. As he lifted his hands to the LORD, all at once the thunder and hail stopped, and the downpour ceased.
Exod.9.34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exod.9.34
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he kept right on sinning, stubborn as ever, both he and his servants.
Exod.9.34
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.
Exod.9.34
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.
Exod.9.34
When Pharaoh saw this, he and his officials sinned yet again by stubbornly refusing to do as they had promised.
Exod.9.35
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Exod.9.35
Pharaoh's heart turned rock-hard. He refused to release the Israelites, as GOD had ordered through Moses.
Exod.9.35
So Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
Exod.9.35
So the heart of Pharaoh was hard; neither would he let the children of Israel go, as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Exod.9.35
Pharaoh refused to let the people leave, just as the LORD had predicted.
