The Lord reiterates the cosmic darkening, focusing it specifically on Egypt's territory. Every bright light—the sun, moon, stars, and all celestial bodies—will be obscured. This is total; nothing escapes the shadow.
The repetition of darkness emphasizes that this is the Lord's direct action. Darkness is not merely the absence of light but an active imposition, a covering that demonstrates divine power and presence in judgment.
