3 And they faid, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days journey into the defert, and facrifice unto the LORD our God; left he fall upon us with peftilence, or with the fword.

4 And the king of Egypt faid unto them, Wherefore do ye, Mofes and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

And Pharaoh faid, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and you make them reft from their burdens.

6 And Pharaoh commanded the fame day the task-mafters of the people, and their offcers, faying,

21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD, left his fervants and his cattel in the field.

22 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt; upon man, and upon beaft, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

23 And Mofes ftretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD fent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
