Contextual Overview

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, To conspire against his servants. 26 He sent Moses, his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen. 27 They performed miracles among them, And wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words. 29 He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish. 30 Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, And lice in all their borders. 32 He gave them hail for rain, With lightning in their land. 33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their country. 34 He spoke, and the locusts came, And the grasshoppers, without number,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He gave them hail for rain,.... 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 a; this was the seventh plague, Exodus 9:18, compare with this the terrible storm of hail which will fall on men at the pouring out of the seventh vial on spiritual Egypt, Revelation 16:21.

And flaming fire in their land; for a storm of thunder and lightning went along with the hail; fire was mingled with it, and ran upon the ground, Exodus 9:23.

a Horat. Carmin. l. 3. Ode 26.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See an account of these plagues in Exo. 6–11. Compare Psalms 78:43-51. This is mostly a mere enumeration of the plagues in the order in which they occurred, but without, of course, the details of the circumstances attending them. There are no circumstances mentioned here which require particular explanation.
