He gave them hail for rain, etc.] Egypt, at least part of it, was not used to rain, but was watered by the overflowings of the Nile; but now it had hail for rain, and a grievous hail storm it was, such as was never seen in the land of Egypt before; hail being rare, if ever there, and so frost and snow f1508; this was the seventh plague, (<020918>Exodus 9:18-26), compare with this the terrible storm of hail which will fall on men at the pouring out of the seventh vial on spiritual Egypt, (<661621>Revelation 16:21).
