CHAP. IX.
1. God threatneth the fift Plague, the murraine of cattell, 4 but exempteth Israel. 6 The Egyptians cat∣tell die: 7, yet Pharaoh is harned. 8, God bringeth the sixt plague, boyles upon man and beast: 11, so that the Magiciās cannot stand before Moses: 12, yet Pharaohs heart is hardned. 13, God threatneth Pharaoh more severely. 22, The seventh plague of hayle and fire, fal∣leth upon men and beasts, and fruits of the earth. 27, Pharaoh confesseth his sinne, and sueth to Moses; 33, who praieth to God, and the plague ceaseth: 34, where∣upon Pharaohs heart is hardned yet more.
AND Iehovah said unto Moses; Goe [unspec 1] in unto Pharaoh, and speake unto him, Thus saith Iehovah the God of the Hebrewes, Send away my people, that they may serve me. For if thou refuse to send [unspec 2] [unspec 3] them away, & thou still wilt hold them: Be∣hold, the hand of Iehovah is upon thy cattel which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheepe: a very grievous mur∣raine. And Iehovah will marvellously sever [unspec 4] betweene the cattell of Israel and the cattell of Egypt; and there shall not dye any thing of all that is the sons of Israel. And Iehovah [unspec 5] appointed a set time, saying, To morrow Ie∣hovah will doe this thing in the land. And [unspec 6] Iehovah did this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians dyed, but of the cattell of the sons of Israel died not one. And Pharaoh sent, & behold, there was not any one of the cattell of Israel dead: and the [unspec 7] heart of Pharaoh was made heavy, and hee sent not away the people. And Iehovah [unspec 8] said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you your hands full of ashes of the fornace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the hea∣vens, in the eyes of Pharaoh. And it shall be (turned) to small dust, upon all the land of [unspec 9] Egypt; and it shall bee upon man and upon beast, to a boile breaking forth with scalding blaines, in all the land of Egypt. And they [unspec 10] tooke ashes of the fornace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it towards the heavens, and it was boyle 〈◊〉〈◊〉 standing blaines breaking forth up on man and upon beast. And the Magicians could not stand before Moses, because of the boyle; for the [unspec 11] boyle was upon the Magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. And Iehovah made strong [unspec 12] the heart o•• Pharaoh, and he 〈◊〉〈◊〉 not unto them, even as Iehovah had spoken unto Moses. And Iehovah said unto Moses, Rise [unspec 13] eately in the morning, and stand before Pha∣raoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Iehovah, the God of the Hebrewes; Send away my people, that they may serve me. For at this [unspec 14] time I will send all my plagues into thy hart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, that thou maist know that there is none like me in all the earth. For now 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sent out my [unspec 15] hand, and I had smitten thee and thy peo∣ple with the pestilence, and thou hadst beene cut off from the earth. But in very [unspec 16] deed, for this have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power, and that my name may be declared in all the earth. As yet exal∣test [unspec 17] thou thy selfe against my people, that thou wilt not send them away? Behold, I will [unspec 18] raine, about this time to morrow, a very hea∣vie haile, such as hath not beene the like in E∣gypt since the day it was founded, even un∣till now. And now send and speedily gather [unspec 19] thy cattell and all that thou hast in the field: every man and beast which shall bee found in the field, and shall not bee gathered into the house, the haile shall even come downe upon them, and they shall die. Hee that fea∣red [unspec 20] the word of Iehovah, amongst the ser∣vants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattell flie into the houses. And hee that set [unspec 21] not his heart unto the word of Iehovah, he left his servants and his cattell in the field. And Iehovah said unto Mosis, Stretch forth [unspec 22] thine hand towards the heavens, and there shall bee haile in all the land of Egypt, upon man and upon beast, and upon every herbe of the field, in the land of Egypt. And Mo∣ses [unspec 23] stretched forth his rod towards the hea∣vens, and Iehovah gave voices, and haile; and fire went upon the ground: and Ieho∣vah rained haile upon the land of Egypt. And [unspec 24] there was haile, and fire catching it selfe among the haile, very heavie, such as there was not the like in all the land of Egypt, since it was a nation. And the haile smote [unspec 25] in all the land of Egypt, all that was in the field, from man even unto beast: and the haile smote euery herbe of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
