Exodus 9:13−21: The Plague of Hail Announced

In this passage, God tells Moses to warn Pharaoh about a new and terrible plague—hail. God explains that He is sending these plagues to show His power and to make it clear that there is no one like Him in all the earth. God also gives a warning to protect people and animals by bringing them inside. Some Egyptians listen and are saved, but others ignore the warning and suffer the consequences. This shows both God’s justice and His mercy, as He gives people a chance to escape the coming disaster.

v. 13: God tells Moses to get up early and stand before Pharaoh. Moses is to deliver God’s message: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.” Even though Pharaoh’s heart is hard, God still gives him another chance to obey (v. 13 a).
