Summary

In Exodus 9:21, Moses is instructed by God to stretch out his hand towards the sky, causing a hailstorm to strike Egypt. This event is part of the plagues sent by God to demonstrate His power and bring judgment upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians for their oppression of the Israelites. The hailstorm serves as a sign of God's authority over nature and His ability to protect His people. It also reveals the consequences of disobedience and the importance of heeding God's warnings to avoid His righteous judgment.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And he that regarded not the word of the Lord,.... Or "set not his heart" (f) "unto it", took no notice of it, but treated it with the utmost contempt; and of this sort it may be thought there were the far greatest number: everyone of this cast left his servants and cattle in the field; let them remain there, and took no care of them, nor thought about them, and so took no methods to preserve them; in which he acted a foolish part, to his own detriment and loss. (f) "non posuit cor suum", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator, Fagius.
