What the Hail? פרשת בא

(13) The LORD said to Moses, “Early in the morning present yourself to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: Let My people go to worship Me.

(14) For this time I will send all My plagues upon your person, and your courtiers, and your people, in order that you may know that there is none like Me in all the world.

(15) I could have stretched forth My hand and stricken you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been effaced from the earth.

(16) Nevertheless I have spared you for this purpose: in order to show you My power, and in order that My fame may resound throughout the world.

(17) Yet you continue to thwart My people, and do not let them go!

(18) This time tomorrow I will rain down a very heavy hail, such as has not been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.

(19) Therefore, order your livestock and everything you have in the open brought under shelter; every man and beast that is found outside, not having been brought indoors, shall perish when the hail comes down upon them!’”

(20) Those among Pharaoh’s courtiers who feared the LORD’s word brought their slaves and livestock indoors to safety;

(21) but those who paid no regard to the word of the LORD left their slaves and livestock in the open.
