Now then hasten to gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them,) shall die.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Νῦν οὖν κατάσπευσον συναγαγεῖν τὰ κτήνη σου, καὶ ὅσα σοι ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ· πάντες γὰρ οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ τὰ κτήνη, ὅσα σοί ἐστιν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ· πὰντες γὰρ οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ τὰ κτήνη, ὅσα ἐὰν εὑρεθῇ ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις, καὶ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς οἰκίαν, πεσῇ δὲ ἐπʼ αὐτὰ ἡ χάλαζα, τελευτήσει.
