Exodus 9:34 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:34

And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the
thunders were ceased
And there was a clear sky and a fine serene heaven, the black clouds were dispersed and gone, and he heard no more the clattering of the hailstones, and the terrible claps of thunder, and saw no more the flashes of lightning, but all was calm and composed:

he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants;
instead of giving glory to God, who had heard the prayers of Moses and Aaron for them, and had delivered them from their frights and fears, and the terror and horror they were in, and of letting the people of Israel go, see ( Revelation 16:21 ) .
