And now send, gather in your livestock and everything you have in the field; all the people and animals that are found in the field that are not gathered into the house — the hail shall descend upon them and they shall die.' " Whoever among the servants of Pharaoh feared the word of Hashem chased his servants and his livestock to the houses. And whoever did not take the word of God to heart — he left his servants and livestock in the field.
Hashem said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven and there will be hail in the entire land of Egypt, on man and beast, and on all the grass of the field in the land of Egypt." Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and Hashem sent thunder and hail, and fire went earthward, and Hashem rained hail upon the land of Egypt. There was hail, and fire flaming amid the hail — very heavy such as had never been in the entire land of Egypt, from the time it became a nation. The hail struck in the entire land of Egypt, everything that was in the field from man to beast; all the grass of the field the hail struck and every tree of the field it smashed. Only in the land of Goshen, where the Children of Israel were, there was no hail. Pharaoh sent and summoned Moses and Aaron and said to them, "This time I have sinned; Hashem is the Righteous One, and I and my people are the wicked ones. Entreat Hashem — there has been an overabundance of Godly thunder and hail; I shall send you out and you shall not continue to remain." Moses said to him, "When I leave the city I shall spread out my hands to Hashem; the thunder will cease and the hail will no longer be, so that you shall know that the earth is Hashem's.
