Exodus 9:28

Prayer

26 The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”

29 Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.

30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
