²¹ And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out to heaven, and all the land of Egypt will be dark, so that men will be feeling their way about in the dark.

⁸ By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.

⁹ He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.

²⁰ And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.
