Fire and hail together—an unusual and catastrophic combination. The hail is severe; the fire running through it adds a second dimension of danger. This is not a normal storm but a supernatural event, mixing elements that don't normally occur together.
The statement underscores uniqueness: nothing like this has ever occurred in Egypt's entire national history. This is not within the range of ordinary weather or seasonal patterns. It is extraordinary and unmistakable as divine action.
