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 The hail came, hail and lightning - a fierce hailstorm. There had been nothing like it in Egypt in its entire history.

25 The hail hit hard all over Egypt. Everything exposed out in the fields, people and animals and crops, was smashed. Even the trees in the fields were shattered.

26 Except for Goshen where the Israelites lived; there was no hail in Goshen.

27 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. He said, "I've sinned for sure this time - God is in the right and I and my people are in the wrong.

28 Pray to God. We've had enough of God's thunder and hail. I'll let you go. The sooner you're out of here the better."
