And Moses stretched out his staff to the heavens. And Jehovah gave thunder and hail. And fire came down to the earth, and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
And I will turn your feasts to mourning, and all your songs into a dirge. And I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning for an only son; and the end of it shall be like a day of bitterness.
If you will not hear, and if you will not set it on your heart to give glory to My name, says Jehovah of Hosts, even I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed it, because you are not setting it on your heart.
And you shall say to the people, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh. For you have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh, for we had good in Egypt? And Jehovah shall give flesh to you, and you shall eat.
The flesh was yet between their teeth, it was not yet cut off, and the anger of Jehovah was hot among the people. And Jehovah struck among the people with a very great plague.
