Éxodo 9:28

28 Orad al SEÑOR; y cesen los truenos de Dios y el granizo; y yo os dejaré ir, y no quedaréis más aquí

Éxodo 9:28 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:28

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; 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" {m}; for thunder is the voice of God, and these thunderings or voices were very loud, the claps were very terrible to hear, and the hail was very grievous and heavy, and the whole was very amazing and frightful, and the more to Pharaoh, who perhaps had never heard the voice of thunder, or seen an hail storm before, even a common one, these being rare in the land of Egypt: and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer;
go the three days' journey into the wilderness, directly and immediately; he would not put it off, on any account, and much less refuse to let them go at all, as he had often done.

Éxodo 9:28 In-Context

26 Solamente en la tierra de Gosén, donde los hijos de Israel estaban, no hubo granizo

27 Entonces el Faraón envió a llamar a Moisés y a Aarón, y les dijo: He pecado esta vez; el SEÑOR es justo, y yo y mi pueblo impíos

28 Orad al SEÑOR; y cesen los truenos de Dios y el granizo; y yo os dejaré ir, y no quedaréis más aquí

29 Y le respondió Moisés: Saliendo yo de la ciudad extenderé mis manos al SEÑOR, y los truenos cesarán, y no habrá más granizo; para que sepas que del SEÑOR es la tierra

30 Mas yo te conozco a ti y a tus siervos de antes que temieseis de la presencia del SEÑOR Dios
