📚 Historical Context
This describes the seventh plague God sent upon Egypt through Moses, as Pharaoh repeatedly refused to let the Israelites go free from slavery. The plague of hail mixed with fire was so supernatural and devastating that it surpassed anything in Egypt's recorded memory. This occurred around 1450-1300 BCE during the final confrontation between God and Pharaoh's hardened heart.
