Exodus 9:26

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel

Exodus 9:26 In-Context

24 There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25 The hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field.

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

27 Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, "This time I have sinned; the LORD is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.

28 Plead with the LORD, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
