H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”

And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.

יְהִ֥י ye.Hi “it may become”

Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it became”

For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.

וַיִּהְי֖וּ (יִּהְי֖וּ) i.yih.Yu “they became”

And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through

וְיִֽהְיוּ־ (יִֽהְיוּ) yih.yu- “they may become”וְהָ֤יָה (הָ֤יָה) Ha.yah “it will be”

And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it was”

But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

הָֽיְתָה֙ ha.ye.Tah “it had come”

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

וְהָיָ֥ה (הָיָ֥ה) ha.Yah “it will become”

And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

וַתְּהִי֙ (תְּהִי֙) te.Hi “it was”הָיָ֥ה ha.Yah “it was”

And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast.

וַתְּהִי֙ (תְּהִי֙) te.Hi “it was”

And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

הֱיֽוֹת־ he.yot- “to be”

And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.

יִהְיֶ֖ה yih.Yeh “it will happen”

Then the hand of the Lord will put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.

הוֹיָ֗ה ho.Yah “[is] about to be”

And it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.

וְהָיָ֣ה (הָיָ֣ה) ha.Yah “it will become”וְהָיָ֨ה (הָיָ֨ה) ha.Yah “it will become”

So they took some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it became”

And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.

הָיָ֣ה ha.Yah “it was”

Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till now.

הָיָ֤ה ha.Yah “it has been”

And the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.

וִיהִ֥י (יהִ֥י) Hi “may it be”

So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when it became a nation.

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”הָיָ֤ה ha.Yah “it had been”הָיְתָ֥ה ha.ye.Tah “it had become”

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no ice-storm.

הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “it was”

Make prayer to the Lord; for there has been enough of these thunderings of God and this ice-storm; and I will let you go and will keep you no longer.

מִֽהְיֹ֛ת (הְיֹ֛ת) h.Yot “being”

And Moses said, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see that the earth is the Lord's.

יִֽהְיֶה־ yih.yeh- “it will happen”

And your houses will be full of them, and the houses of your servants and of all the Egyptians; it will be worse than anything your fathers have seen or their fathers, from the day when they were living on the earth till this day. And so he went out from

הֱיוֹתָם֙ (הֱיוֹתָ) he.yo.Ta “were”

And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long is this man to be the cause of evil to us? let the men go so that they may give worship to the Lord their God: are you not awake to Egypt's danger?

יִהְיֶ֨ה yih.Yeh “will he become”
