Exodus 9:33

MosesPharaoh

31 (Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32 but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.

34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35 So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
