The LORD said to Moshe, *Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.* Moshe told the words of the people to the LORD.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, *This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.*
It happened, as they fled from before Yisra'el, while they were at the descent of Beit-Choron, that the LORD cast down great stones from the sky on them to `Azeka, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Yisra'el killed with the sword.
Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe.
