George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:32

CHAPTER IX. Lateward. The hail fell in February. (Bonfrere) Aristophanes (in Avibus) says, the Egyptians and Phenicians have their harvest when the cuckoo begins to sing.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:22-35

22-35 Woful havoc this hail made: it killed both men and cattle; the corn above ground was destroyed, and that only preserved which as yet was not come up. The land of Goshen was preserved. God causes rain or hail on one city and not on another, either in mercy or in judgment. Pharaoh humbled himself to Moses. No man could have spoken better: he owns himself wrong; he owns that the Lord is righteous; and God must be justified when he speaks, though he speaks in thunder and lightning. Yet his... read more

And Moses stretched forth his rod, his hand which held his shepherd's staff, toward heaven: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, He gave forth voices accompanied with... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 9:13-35

Mighty Thunderings and Hail Exodus 9:13-35 This paragraph recalls Revelation 7:3 . The great angel there commanded that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree, until the servants of God had been sealed on their foreheads. Only when this had been effected did the trumpets give signal of the disasters that broke successively on the earth. See Revelation 8:7 , etc . The only spot in which the soul is safe is within the encircling provisions of the covenant. Israel... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 9:1-35

The patient method of God is manifest in that, notwithstanding the fact that Pharaoh had again broken faith, God again warned him. There being no evidence of repentance, the fifth plague fell upon the nation. The fact of the struggle going on in the heart of Pharaoh is seen in that he investigated the condition of Israel and found that they were exempt from the visitation. Nevertheless, he still maintained the attitude of stubborn resistance. Now the divine method changed. Without warning... read more
