Éxodo 9:22-26, Éxodo 9:33, Éxodo 9:34 NTV

The plague of hail. This plague was introduced with ampler remonstrance. Moses was commanded to proceed to Pharaoh, and to warn him in stronger and more decisive language than he had yet employed of the folly of this insane resistance. Exodus 9:15 should probably be translated, "For now indeed had I stretched forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence, thou hadst then been out off from the earth;" and then Exodus 9:16 will give the reason why God had not cut... read more

The seventh plague-the hail mingled with fire. I. CONSIDER THE PLAGUE ITSELF , 1 . God has his " to-morrow "( Exodus 9:18 ) as well as Pharaoh ( Exodus 8:10 ). Only when Pharaoh's "to-morrow" comes, there comes with it the evidence that he means not what he says. But when God's" to-morrow" comes there is the evidence of his perfect stability, how he settles everything beforehand, even to the very hour. "Tomorrow, about this time." A whole twenty-four hours then... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:22

Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven . The action was appropriate, as the plague was to come from the heaven. Similarly, in the first and second plagues, Aaron's hand had been stretched out upon the waters ( Exodus 7:19 , Exodus 7:20 ; Exodus 8:6 ); and in the third upon "the dust of the ground" ( Exodus 8:17 ). And upon every herb of the field— i.e; upon all forms of vegetable life. (Compare Genesis 1:30 ; Genesis 9:3 .) read more

I. THE TERRORS OF GOD 'S MIGHT . In that awful war of elements any moment might have been his last, and Pharaoh trembled. This plague evoked from him the first confession of sin. Hitherto he had reluctantly granted the request of Moses: now he casts himself as a sinner (27, 28) on God's mercy, and entreats the prayers of God's servant for himself and his people. There is a point at which the stoutest heart will be broken, and the cry be wrung from the lips, " I have sinned." "Can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:23

Moses stretched forth his rod . In the last set of three plagues, the earthly agent was Moses ( Exodus 9:10 ; Exodus 10:13 , Exodus 10:22 ), whose diffidence seems to have worn off as time went on, and he became accustomed to put himself forward. Thunder and hail. Thunder had not been predicted; but it is a common accompaniment of a hail-storm, the change of temperature produced by the discharge of electricity no doubt conducing to the formation of hailstones. The fire ran along upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:24

Fire mingled with the hail. Rather, "There was hail, and in the midst of the hail a fire infolding itself." The expression used is the same which occurs in Ezekiel 1:4 . It seems to mean a fire that was not a mere flash, but collected itself into a mass and was seen for some considerable time. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:25

The hall smote . It is to the hail and not to the lightning that the great destruction of men and beasts is attributed. Such lightning, however, as is spoken of, would probably kill some. All that was in the field . According to the warning given ( Exodus 9:19 ), the herdsmen and cattle left in the open air and not brought into the sheds were killed. The hail emote every herb of the field . Even in our own temperate climate, which is free from all atmospheric extremes, hailstorms... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 9:13-34

With the plague of hail begins the last series of plagues, which differ from the former both in their severity and their effects. Each produced a temporary, but real, change in Pharaoh’s feelings.Exodus 9:14All my plagues - This applies to all the plagues which follow; the effect of each was foreseen and foretold. The words “at this time” point to a rapid and continuous succession of blows. The plagues which precede appear to have been spread over a considerable time; the first message of Moses... read more
