Exodus 9:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 9:27

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 9:27-30

Turn over to Exodus 9. The Bible also describes people who do not fear God. By the time Moses had brought seven different plagues upon Egypt. Pharaoh knew God well enough to fear Him, but he did not. Though Pharaoh appeared to repent, Moses replied, "I know that you still do not fear the Lord."

So even after Pharaoh allowed Israel to flee Egypt, his disobedience and later pursuing the children of Israel indicated that he still did not truly fear God, even to the point where he was killed. And to that point, he still did not fear Him. He had a terror of God, possibly, at times but not a fear. Consequently, God destroyed Pharaoh's army, just as He promised to bring judgment upon all who do not fear Him, while preserving those who do fear Him.
