What Does Exodus 9:21 Mean?
The contrast is stark. Those who disregard God's word face consequences. They leave their servants and animals outside, exposed to the hail that is about to fall. Their choice not to fear God leads to loss.
This reinforces that outcomes follow from obedience or disobedience. Those who respect God's word act in ways that protect them. Those who ignore it suffer loss. The choice and the consequence are clearly linked.
