Exo 9:22-24 | MHM | STEP | Exodus 9:22−35: The Plague of Hail This passage describes the seventh plague that God brings on Egypt: a terrible storm of hail mixed with fire. This storm destroys crops, animals, and people in the open fields. Only the land of Goshen, where the Israelites live, is safe. Pharaoh is so frightened that he admits his sin and asks Moses to pray for the storm to stop. But after the storm ends, Pharaoh hardens his heart again and does not let the Israelites go. This shows how God’s power is greater than any ruler, and how people can make promises during trouble but quickly forget them when the danger is gone. v. 22-24 : God tells Moses to stretch out his hand toward heaven, and a storm of hail, thunder, and fire (lightning) strikes all Egypt. The storm is worse than anything Egypt has ever seen. This shows that God controls all of nature and can use it to judge those who oppose Him ( v. 22-24; Psalm 148:8 ).
