What Does Psalms 105:33 Mean?
The hail plague specifically damaged vines and fig trees—fruit-bearing plants essential to Egyptian agriculture and commerce. These are not annual crops that could be replanted but established orchards requiring years to mature. The destruction was not merely a temporary setback but long-term economic damage.
Breaking the trees of their coasts means the devastation spread throughout all Egypt's cultivated regions. No agricultural zone was spared. This comprehensive destruction of both grain crops and fruit trees created a food crisis that would worsen when the locusts came.
