What Does Psalms 105:32 Mean?
The seventh plague replaced expected rain with destructive hail and fire. In Egypt, where hail was rare or unknown, this was doubly shocking. Hail destroyed the ripening crops—flax and barley that had survived earlier plagues. The hail accompanied thunder and fire, creating a catastrophic storm.
The phrase 'flaming fire' may describe lightning or fire falling from the hail, intensifying the destruction. This plague struck at Egypt's economic foundation—agricultural production. The ability to feed the nation was devastated, pushing toward the famine of locusts that would follow.
