Egypt, known for its advanced civilization and powerful empire, was geographically centered around the Nile River. The land's fertility depended heavily on the Nile's inundation, making the impact of the hail particularly devastating. This event demonstrates God's power over the natural world and His ability to execute judgment on a national scale.the hail struck down everything in the field Hail is a rare and destructive weather phenomenon in Egypt, a region characterized by its arid climate. The severity of this plague is underscored by its ability to destroy everything in the fields, which were crucial for Egypt's agriculture-based economy. This judgment highlights God's control over creation and serves as a direct challenge to the Egyptian gods, such as Nut, the sky goddess, and Set, the god of storms.both man and beast The inclusion of both humans and animals in the destruction signifies the comprehensive nature of the judgment. In ancient Egyptian society, animals were not only vital for agriculture and transportation but also held religious significance. The loss of life among both humans and animals underscores the severity of the plague and serves as a reminder of the consequences of Pharaoh's hardened heart.it beat down every plant of the field The destruction of crops would have had catastrophic implications for Egypt's food supply, leading to potential famine. This phrase highlights the economic and social impact of the plague, as agriculture was the backbone of Egyptian society. The devastation of the crops can be seen as a fulfillment of God's warning to Pharaoh and a demonstration of His sovereignty over the land.and stripped every tree Trees, often symbols of life and prosperity, were also destroyed, indicating the totality of the devastation. In the biblical narrative, trees can represent stability and blessing, and their destruction signifies the removal of these blessings from Egypt. This act of stripping the trees can be seen as a precursor to the later plagues and a foreshadowing of the ultimate deliverance of the Israelites, as it demonstrates God's power to dismantle the natural order to fulfill His purposes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a> The land where the Israelites were enslaved and where God demonstrated His power through the plagues. 2. <a href="/topical/p/pharaoh.htm">Pharaoh</a> The ruler of Egypt who hardened his heart against God’s command to let the Israelites go. 3. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The prophet and leader chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from slavery. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_plague_of_hail.htm">The Plague of Hail</a> The seventh plague sent by God upon Egypt, demonstrating His power and judgment. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> God’s chosen people, who were spared from the devastation of the plagues.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_power.htm">God's Sovereignty and Power</a> The plague of hail demonstrates God's control over nature and His ability to execute judgment. <a href="/topical/t/the_hardness_of_heart.htm">The Hardness of Heart</a> Pharaoh's refusal to heed God's warnings serves as a caution against hardening our hearts to God's voice. <a href="/topical/p/protection_of_god's_people.htm">Protection of God's People</a> The Israelites were spared from the plague, illustrating God's protection and care for His people. <a href="/topical/r/repentance_and_obedience.htm">Repentance and Obedience</a> The plagues serve as a call to repentance and obedience to God's commands. <a href="/topical/j/judgment_and_mercy.htm">Judgment and Mercy</a> While God’s judgment is severe, His mercy is evident in sparing those who belong to Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_9.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 9</a> <a href="/q/how_do_locusts_and_hail_plagues_align.htm">How does the destruction caused by the locusts (Exodus 10:15) align with the later plague of hail in Exodus 9, which supposedly ruined crops earlier? </a> <a href="/q/is_a_hailstorm_like_exodus_9_18-25_likely.htm">How plausible is a widespread hailstorm of the described magnitude in the region (Exodus 9:18-25)?</a> <a href="/q/why_does_exodus_9_6_mention_surviving_livestock.htm">How can Exodus 9:6 say all Egyptian livestock died, yet later verses still refer to surviving livestock?</a> <a href="/q/how_does_hosea_9_3_align_with_history.htm">In Hosea 9:3, how does the claim that Israel would return to Egypt align with historical records that show no major return after the Exodus?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(25) The hail . . . brake every tree of the field.--What is meant is, not that the hail "brake the mightiest trees to fragments" (Millington, Plagues of Egypt, p. 135), but that it broke off the small boughs and twigs, so damaging the trees and, if they were fruit-trees, destroying the prospect of fruit.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 25. - The hall smote. It is to the hail and not to the lightning that the great destruction of men and beasts is attributed. Such lightning, however, as is spoken of, would probably kill some. All that was in the field. According to the warning given (ver. 19), the herdsmen and cattle left in the open air and not brought into the sheds were killed. The hail emote every herb of the field. Even in our own temperate climate, which is free from all atmospheric extremes, hailstorms occasionally do so much damage to crops that it has been found desirable to organise a special insurance against loss from this cause. Such hail as that described in the text would greatly injure every crop that was many inches above the soil, and entirely destroy such as had gone to ear. (See below, ver. 31.)
