22 The Lord told Moses, “Raise your hand toward the sky. Then the hail will start falling in all the land of Egypt. It will fall on people, animals, and on everything that grows in the fields of Egypt.”
23 When Moses raised his walking stick toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the earth. So he caused hail to fall upon the land of Egypt.
24 There was hail, and lightning flashed as it hailed—the worst hailstorm in Egypt since it had become a nation.
25 The hail destroyed all the people and animals that were in the fields in all the land of Egypt. It also destroyed everything that grew in the fields and broke all the trees in the fields.
26 The only place it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
27 The king sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, “This time I have sinned. The Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.
28 Pray to the Lord. We have had enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not have to stay here any longer.”
