Exodus 9:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 9:24

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be ^ahail in all the land of Egypt—on man, on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”

23 And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven; and ^athe Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire darted to the ground. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so very heavy that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

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.”
