Exodus 9:28 NIV

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

Entreat the Lord, for it is enough ,.... Hail, thunder, and lightning enough; or pray that this may be enough, and thought sufficient, and that there may be no more; or "entreat the Lord, and much" F12 העתירי־ורב "orate multam", Rivet. ; pray, and pray much, pray earnestly and without intermission until the plague ceases: that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail ; or "voices of God" F13 קלת אלהים "voces Dei", Montanus, Drusius. ; for thunder is the voice of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:28

It is enough - There is no need of any farther plague; I submit to the authority of Jehovah and will rebel no more. Mighty thunderings - אלהים כלת koloth Elohim , voices of God; - that is, superlatively loud thunder. So mountains of God ( Psalm 36:6 ;) means exceeding high mountains. So a prince of God ( Genesis 23:6 ;) means a mighty prince. See a description of thunder, Psalm 29:3-8 ; : "The Voice Of The Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth; the Lord is upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:13-35

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 9:22-35

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 9:27-30

The mock repentance of a half-awakened sinner counterfeits the true, but has features by which it may be known. It is not always easy to distinguish between a true and a mock repentance. Here was the Pharaoh at this time very visibly—it might have seemed deeply—impressed. He was disquieted—he was alarmed—he was ready to humble himself—to make confession—to promise obedience in the future. In what did his repentance differ from true, godly penitence? What points did it possess in common... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:28

Mighty thunderings . Literally, as in the margin, "voices of God." Thunder was regarded by many nations of antiquity as the actual voice of a god. In the Vedic theology, Indra spoke in thunder. The Egyptian view on the subject has not been ascertained. 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
