Exodus 9:26 Meaning and 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.

Exodus 9:26 In-Context

24 There was hail, and lightning flashed as it hailed -- the worst hailstorm in Egypt since it had become a nation.

25 The hail destroyed all the people and animals that were in the fields in all the land of Egypt. It also destroyed everything that grew in the fields and broke all the trees in the fields.

26 The only place it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27 The king sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, "This time I have sinned. The Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.

28 Pray to the Lord. We have had enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not have to stay here any longer."
