Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 9:22-35

The threatened plague of hail is here summoned by the powerful hand and rod of Moses (Exod. 9:22, 23), and it obeys the summons, or rather the divine command; for fire and hail fulfil God's word, Ps. 148:8. And here we are told, I. What desolations it made upon the earth. The thunder, and fire from heaven (or lightning), made it both the more dreadful and the more destroying, Exod. 9:23, 24. Note, God makes the clouds, not only his store-houses whence he drops fatness on his people, but his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:22

And the Lord said unto Moses ,.... When the morrow was come, the fifth day of the month Abib: stretch forth thine hand toward heaven ; with his rod in it, as appears from the next verse, to show that the following plague would come from the heaven, that is, the air, and from God, who dwells in the heaven of heavens: that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt ; not only in that spot, and near it, where Moses stood, and from that part of the heaven towards which he stretched forth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:23

And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven ,.... The same which Aaron had made use of before, but was now in the hand of Moses, and whose rod it properly was: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground , hot thunderbolts, which struck their flocks, Psalm 78:48 and hail which fell so thick and weighty as to destroy both men and cattle, and break trees in pieces, and spoil the corn, the grass, and the tender herb; and fire, that is lightning, which... read more

So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail ,.... Which was a miracle within a miracle, as Aben Ezra observes; and very wonderful indeed it was, that the hail did not quench the fire, nor the fire melt the hail, as Philo the Jew F9 De Vita. Mosis, l. 1. p. 620. remarks: very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation ; See Gill on Exodus 9:18 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:25

And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt ,.... It was in all the land, and it smote and did mischief in all parts of it, only in Goshen, after excepted: all that was in the field, both man and beast ; which they that neglected the word of the Lord took no care to fetch home, these were all smitten and destroyed by the hail: and the hail smote every herb of the field; that is, the greatest part of them, for some were left, which the locusts afterwards ate, Exodus 10:15 , and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:26

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were , was there no hail. So that such Egyptians as might dwell among them, they, their servants, their cattle, and their fruits, escaped this plague; and oftentimes do wicked men fare the better for the people of God that are among them. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:23

The Lord sent thunder - קלת koloth , voices; but loud, repeated peals of thunder are meant. And the fire ran along upon the ground - ארצה אש ותהלך vattihalac esh aretsah , and the fire walked upon the earth. It was not a sudden flash of lightning, but a devouring fire, walking through every part, destroying both animals and vegetables; and its progress was irresistible. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:24

Hail, and fire mingled with the hail - It is generally allowed that the electric fluid is essential to the formation of hail. On this occasion it was supplied in a supernatural abundance; for streams of fire seem to have accompanied the descending hail, so that herbs and trees, beasts and men, were all destroyed by them. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:22

Verse 22 22.And the Lord said. The rod of Moses is again employed to bring on the storm, not so much for Pharaoh’s sake, as that Moses may be the more encouraged to the remaining contests, when he sees the proof of his vocation renewed. In the meanwhile, we may observe the trial of his faith, since before he had received the command to stretch forth his rod toward heaven, he had not hesitated to predict to Pharaoh the grievous and miraculous hall. But if any one thinks that this is an ὕστερον... read more
