Exodus 9:27

Compare all

25 And the ^ahail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.

26 ^aOnly in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

27 And Pharaoh sent and ^acalled for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, ^b“I have sinned this time. ^cThe Lord is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.

28 ^aEntreat the Lord, that there may be no more² mighty thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you ^bgo, and you shall stay no longer.”

29 So Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will ^aspread out my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the ^bearth is the Lord’s.

30 But as for you and your servants, ^aI know that you will not yet fear the Lord God.”

Exodus 9:27

The Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked - The original is very emphatic: The Lord is The Righteous One, ( hatstaddik ), and I and my people are The Sinners, ( hareshaim ); i.e., He is alone righteous, and we alone are transgressors. Who could have imagined that after such an acknowledgment and confession, Pharaoh should have again hardened his heart?
