The Lord set a time for the plague. He said, “Tomorrow I will send it on the land.”
“Why doesn’t the Mighty One set a time for judging sinful people? Why do those who know him have to keep waiting for that day?
If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow.
I will treat my people differently from yours. This sign will take place tomorrow.” ’ ”
So at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm ever to fall on Egypt in its entire history.
But I will treat Israel’s livestock differently from yours. No animal that belongs to the people of Israel will die.” ’ ”
So the next day the Lord sent it. All the livestock of the Egyptians died. But not one animal that belonged to the Israelites died.
Then he spoke to Korah and all his followers. He said, “In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to him. He will show who is holy. He’ll bring that person near him. He’ll bring the man he chooses near him.
