Exodus 9:24 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:24

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 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).

Exodus 9:24 In-Context

22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon the men and upon the beasts and upon all the grass of the field throughout the land of Egypt.

23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD raised his voice and it hailed, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

24 So there was hail and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became inhabited.

25 And that hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and beasts; and the hail smote all the grass of the field and broke all the trees of the field.

26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.
