7 The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
and to send: depart Pharaoh and behold not to die from livestock Israel till one and to honor: heavy heart Pharaoh and not to send: let go [obj] [the] people
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
and to say LORD to(wards) Moses and to(wards) Aaron to take: take to/for you fullness palm your soot kiln and to scatter him Moses [the] heaven [to] to/for eye: seeing Pharaoh

10 So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.

12 But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
and to strengthen: strengthen LORD [obj] heart Pharaoh and not to hear: hear to(wards) them like/as as which to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Moses
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
and to say LORD to(wards) Moses to rise in/on/with morning and to stand to/for face: before Pharaoh and to say to(wards) him thus to say LORD God [the] Hebrew to send: let go [obj] people my and to serve: minister me
14 [If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.

19 So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
and now to send: depart to seek refuge [obj] livestock your and [obj] all which to/for you in/on/with land: country all [the] man and [the] animal which to find in/on/with land: country and not to gather [the] house: home [to] and to go down upon them [the] hail and to die
20 Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
[the] afraid [obj] word LORD from servant/slave Pharaoh to flee [obj] servant/slave his and [obj] livestock his to(wards) [the] house: home

and which not to set: put heart his to(wards) word LORD and to leave: forsake [obj] servant/slave his and [obj] livestock his in/on/with land: country
22 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
and to say LORD to(wards) Moses to stretch [obj] hand your upon [the] heaven and to be hail in/on/with all land: country/planet Egypt upon [the] man and upon [the] animal and upon all vegetation [the] land: country in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt
23 So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
and to stretch Moses [obj] tribe: rod his upon [the] heaven and LORD to give: cry out voice: thunder and hail and to go: went fire land: country/planet [to] and to rain LORD hail upon land: country/planet Egypt

and to be hail and fire to take: fire in/on/with midst [the] hail heavy much which not to be like him in/on/with all land: country/planet Egypt from the past to be to/for nation
25 The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.

26 Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
except in/on/with land: country/planet Goshen which there son: descendant/people Israel not to be hail
27 Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
and to send: depart Pharaoh and to call: call to to/for Moses and to/for Aaron and to say to(wards) them to sin [the] beat LORD [the] righteous and I and people my [the] wicked
28 (Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”

31 When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.

32 But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
and [the] wheat and [the] rye not to smite for late they(fem.)
33 So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
and to come out: come Moses from from with Pharaoh [obj] [the] city and to spread palm his to(wards) LORD and to cease [the] voice: thunder and [the] hail and rain not to pour land: country/planet [to]
34 But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
