27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28 Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord's.

30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God.

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by Moses.

27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,”(A) he said to them. “The Lord is in the right,(B) and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Pray(C) to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go;(D) you don’t have to stay any longer.”

29 Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands(E) in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth(F) is the Lord’s. 30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear(G) the Lord God.”

31 (The flax and barley(H) were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. 32 The wheat and spelt,(I) however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)

33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart(J) was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.
