Verse 24. Hail, and fire mingled with the hail] It is generally allowed that the electric fluid is essential to the formation of hail. On this occasion it was supplied in a supernatural abundance; for streams of fire seem to have accompanied the descending hail, so that herbs and trees, beasts and men, were all destroyed by them.

Which strange mixture much increased the miracle. That hail and rain did sometimes, though but seldom, fall in Egypt, is attested by divers eye-witnesses.

So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail,…. Which was a miracle within a miracle, as Aben Ezra observes; and very wonderful indeed it was, that the hail did not quench the fire, nor the fire melt the hail, as Philo the Jew i remarks:
very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation; [See comments on Ex 9:18].

Exo 9:24. So there was hail Universal hail, Exo 9:25 demonstrative of its supernatural origin, as hail is generally partial; more supernatural, as general in all parts of Egypt, except that where the children of Israel made their abode, see Exo 9:26.; and still more supernatural, as mingled with fire: the Hebrew is emphatical; fire catching itself among the hail; i.e. says Ainsworth, one flash of lightning taking hold of another; and so, the flames enfolding themselves, increased and burned more terribly. The word is used only here and Eze 1:4.

Exo 9:24. Fire mingled with hail Which strange mixture much increased the miracle. The Hebrew is, fire infolding or catching itself among the hail; One flash of lightning, says Ainsworth, taking hold on another, and so the flames, infolding themselves, increased and burned more terribly. The same Hebrew word is used Eze 1:4, and rendered, a fire infolding itself.
