Exodus 9:28

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 9:28

It is enough - There is no need of any farther plague; I submit to the authority of Jehovah and will rebel no more.

Mighty thunderings - koloth Elohim , voices of God; - that is, superlatively loud thunder. So mountains of God (Psalms 36:6) means exceeding high mountains. So a prince of God (Genesis 23:6) means a mighty prince. See a description of thunder, Psalms 29:3-8 : "The Voice Of The Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth; the Lord is upon many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars. The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness," etc. The production of rain by the electric spark is alluded to in a very beautiful manner, Jeremiah 10:13 : When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens. See Clarke' s note on Genesis 7:11, and Genesis 8:1 (note).
