This event demonstrates God's power over nature, contrasting with the Egyptian gods who were believed to control the weather. Hail, a rare occurrence in Egypt due to its typically warm climate, signifies a divine intervention. The severity of the hailstorm underscores the seriousness of Pharaoh's hardened heart and God's judgment against Egypt.and the lightning continued flashing through it. The combination of hail and lightning indicates a supernatural storm, emphasizing the intensity and divine origin of the plague. Lightning, often associated with God's presence and power, can be seen in other biblical instances, such as at Mount Sinai (<a href="/exodus/19-16.htm">Exodus 19:16</a>).
