Exodus 9:23 meaning and explanation
So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:23, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Moses stands before Pharaoh in the seventh plague, having warned that the worst hail Egypt has ever seen will fall unless the people and livestock are sheltered. Here the sign Moses performs, stretching out his staff toward heaven, is not magic; it is the gesture of a prophet handing the moment over to God, and the LORD himself sends the thunder, hail and lightning.
