Abstract

Hail, Lightning, and Thunder: The 7th Plague “HaShem said to Moshe, Stretch out your hand toward the sky and there will be hail throughout all Egypt. It will fall on man and animal and on all outdoor plants all over Egypt. Moshe pointed his staff at the sky and HaShem caused it to thunder and hail with lightning striking the ground. HaShem then made it hail on the land of Egypt. There was hail with lightning flashing among the hailstones. It was extremely heavy, unlike anything Egypt had experienced since it became a nation. Throughout all of Egypt, the hail killed every man and animals in the outdoors. The hail destroyed all the outdoor plants and smashed every tree in the fields. Only in Goshen, where B’nei Israel lived, there was no hail” (Shemos 9:22-26).
