Exodus 9:19

17 Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18 Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.

So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”

20 Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21 but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
