📚 Historical Context
This verse refers to the seventh plague God sent upon Egypt when Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites go free from slavery. The plague of hail was particularly devastating because it destroyed Egypt's agricultural wealth, including their valuable grapevines and sycamore trees, which were important sources of food and economic stability. This was part of God's demonstration of power to both the Egyptians and Israelites.
