Exodus 1:11-14 (ANIV)
11 So they [the Egyptian people] put slave masters over them [the Hebrew people] to oppress them with forced labour, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites and 13 worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with hard labour in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labour the Egyptians used them ruthlessly.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Afternoon.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The afternoon sun is on the right, casting shadows to the left.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
There are two versions of this scene:
01) (Previous page) Exodus 01 - Hebrews Oppressed - Scene 03 - Hard labour (Version 01). This is the original version, with bare chested Hebrew man.
02) (This page) Exodus 01 - Hebrews Oppressed - Scene 03 - Hard labour (Version 02). This is the newer, more modest version (specifically requested by a customer) which covers up the bare chested Hebrew man in the scene.
In the foreground, an Egyptian slave master (with leather whip in hand) is driving a Hebrew labourer (carrying a large bundle of straw reeds on his shoulders).
To the right you can see some Hebrew labourers harvesting barley, with another Egyptian slaver master behind them, who is directing two more Hebrew men with bundles of straw on their shoulders.
There is a large Egyptian sailing boat (perhaps a royal one?) on the river Nile, with a smaller boat closer to the shore.
Behind the far river bank you can make out people working the fields, including a person with a pair of oxen.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene takes place on the banks of the river Nile, the most important river in Egypt. I have included 2 water craft, a large brown wooden sailing boat with a smaller fishing boat in front of it. These are included to illustrate the importance of the Nile river to the Egyptians. [1]
The crop the slaves are harvesting is barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) [2]
The odd looking orange-brown stump, with pink flowers is a plant called the desert rose (Adenium obesum) [3]
I used some photographic reference for the Nile river, plants & sand dunes in the background.
Here’s the scene in greyscale form, which I create before I colour up a scene, to get the tone (light and shade) right.

Ships and watercraft in ancient Egypt were an important factor in the development of maritime trade and transport throughout the span of the civilization. Egyptian shipbuilders advanced from the most basic rafts to learning how to navigate the open sea, using their skills to gather food, conduct trade along the Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts, and engage in warfare. Ships also served as symbolic representations of power that are frequently depicted in ancient Egyptian art.
Ships are represented in ancient Egyptian paintings dated as early as 4000 B.C., but the artistic depictions do not reveal clear information on their details or construction. These early canoe-like boats or rafts made of papyrus were used for fishing and transportation, and influenced later wooden designs for timber construction. Timbers discovered at the Tarkhan site and dated to 3000 B.C. are believed to be the earliest known ship fragments, reused as roofing for the Tarkhan tombs.

Barley is a grass with a swollen grain that is similar to wheat that can be ground to produce a flour suitable for the production of bread. However unlike wheat, barley has always been particularly important in the production of beers and ales. Barley is the second most widely grown arable crop in the UK with around 1.1 million hectares under cultivation and today's varieties trace their origins back over 10,000 years to the first farmers.
Barley has remained a successful cereal crop because of its short growing time and ability to survive in poor conditions.
Barley is striking because of the long spikes that emerge from the end of each grain. These are known as awns. Barley is also easily identifiable on breezy days in the early summer when "waves" blow through the crop.

The Old English word for 'barley' was bære, which traces back to Proto-Indo-European and is cognate to the Latin word farina "flour". The direct ancestor of modern English "barley" in Old English was the derived adjective bærlic, meaning "of barley". The first citation of the form bærlic in the Oxford English Dictionary dates to around 966 AD, in the compound word bærlic-croft. The underived word bære survives in the north of Scotland as bere, and refers to a specific strain of six-row barley grown there. The word barn, which originally meant "barley-house", is also rooted in these words.

Adenium obesum
A species of flowering plant in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, that is native to the Sahel regions, south of the Sahara (from Mauritania and Senegal to Sudan), and tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa and Arabia. Common names include Sabi star, kudu, mock azalea, impala lily and desert rose.
The toxic sap of its roots and stems is used as arrow poison for hunting large game throughout much of Africa and as a fish toxin.
It is an evergreen or drought-deciduous succulent shrub (which can also lose its leaves during cold spells, or according to the subspecies or cultivar). It can grow to 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) height, with pachycaul stems and a stout, swollen basal caudex. The leaves are spirally arranged, clustered toward the tips of the shoots, simple entire, leathery in texture, 5–15 cm (2.0–5.9 in) long and 1–8 cm (0.39–3.1 in) broad. The flowers are tubular, 2–5 cm (0.79–2.0 in) long, with the outer portion 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) diameter with five petals, resembling those of other related genera such as Plumeria and Nerium. The flowers tend to red and pink, often with a whitish blush outward of the throat.
(Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenium_obesum)
Adenium obesum is actually a succulent member of the Oleander family. It originates in East Africa, from regions where it rains frequently in the summer, but is very dry in winter.

Exodus 9:13-35 (ANIV)
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, 'This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me, 14 or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no-one like me in all the earth. 15 For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. 16 But I have raised you up [1] for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. 17 You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. 18 Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now. 19 Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every man and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.' "
20 Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. 21 But those who ignored the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field. 22 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand towards the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on men and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt."
23 When Moses stretched out his staff towards the sky, the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; 24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. 25 Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both men and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree. 26 The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.
27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. "This time I have sinned," he said to them. "The Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Pray to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don't have to stay any longer."
29 Moses replied, "When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the Lord's. 30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the Lord God."
31 (The flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bloom. 32 The wheat and spelt, however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands towards the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. 35 So Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

Or, have spared you.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
It would be difficult to determine the time of day, due to the dark, stormy sky. However, verse 13 tell us that the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning...” & then in verse 18 it says “...at this time tomorrow...” therefore we can deduce that it is early morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
There are 2 principle light sources for this scene. the first is the lightning which throws off a cold electric blue light, which can be seen on the edges of the figures & on the ground. The other is an unseen warm, firelight glow, coming from inside the house, which can be seen on the figures & animals nearest to the viewer.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
We can see two wise Egyptians in the foreground, holding on to their animals (a cow & a lamb), sheltering in a house. There are three unwise Egyptians outside, in the hail storm. I imagined that the man in the loincloth is probably a slave, left to toil in the fields. The other two could be slaves or Egyptian farmers. Notice they are holding robes or sacks above their heads, to try to keep the hail stones from hitting them.
In addition there are two dead sheep & a dead cow, brought down by the large hail stones.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
There are two versions of this scene:
01) (Previous page) Exodus 09 - The Ten plagues of Egypt - The plague of Hail (Version 01). This is the original version, with bare chested Egyptian man.
02) (This page) Exodus 09 - The Ten plagues of Egypt - The plague of Hail (Version 02). This is the newer, more modest version (specifically requested by a customer) which covers up the bare chested man in the scene.
We know from verse 20 that there were “some officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord,” & that they “hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside.” The 2 figures in the foreground, cowering in the house are representative of these wiser Egyptians.
Verse 21 tells us, “But those who ignored the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field.” Hence I have depicted what happened to these people & animals, once the hail storm hit.
I have discovered the approximate location of the land of Goshen (which is where the Bible tells us the Hebrew people lived in Egypt) & found that it is very flat location. Ordinarily I’d like to add hills &/or mountains to the scene, but Goshen was pretty flat!
This is the first of the ten plague scenes in which I have not depicted either Moses & Aaron, or Pharaoh & his courtiers.
I am pleased with the way he hail came out. I added some motion blur effect to some of it, to make it look like it is really pelting down. I am also pleased with the contrast in colours between the warm fire light & the cold electric blue of the lightning.
Whilst I didn’t particularly like depicting dead animals, I am pleased with the way the hailstones came out, & appear to be banked up against the sides of the bodies.
We know that the storm was terrible, as verses 23-25 say, “... the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both men and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree.”
Notice the Nile tributary that you can see in the middle distance. The hail stones are splashing the water up into a frenzy. That’s the kind of detail I like to include in my cartoon illustrations!
Here’s the scene in greyscale form, which I create before I colour up a scene, to get the tone (light and shade) right.
