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 Hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in Egypt's entire history.
25 All over Egypt hail struck everything in the fields. It fell on people and animals alike. It beat down everything that was growing in the fields. It tore all of the leaves off the trees.
26 The only place it didn't hail was in the area of Goshen. That's where the people of Israel were.
27 Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. "This time I've sinned," he said to them. "The LORD has done what is right. I and my people have done what is wrong.
28 Pray to the Lord, because we've had enough thunder and hail. I'll let you and your people go. You don't have to stay here any longer."
