26 Only in the land H776 of Goshen, H1657 where the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were, was there no hail. H1259
And I will sever H6395 in that day H3117 the land H776 of Goshen, H1657 in which my people H5971 dwell, H5975 that no H1115 swarms H6157 of flies shall be H1961 there; to the end H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that I am the LORD H3068 in the midst H7130 of the earth. H776 And I will put H7760 a division H6304 between my people H5971 and thy people: H5971 to morrow H4279 shall this sign H226 be. And the LORD H3068 did H6213 so; and there came H935 a grievous H3515 swarm H6157 of flies into the house H1004 of Pharaoh, H6547 and into his servants' H5650 houses, H1004 and into all the land H776 of Egypt: H4714 the land H776 was corrupted H7843 by reason H6440 of the swarm H6157 of flies. And Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 for H413 Moses H4872 and for Aaron, H175 and said, H559 Go H3212 ye, sacrifice H2076 to your God H430 in the land. H776 And Moses H4872 said, H559 It is not meet H3559 so to do; H6213 for H2005 we shall sacrifice H2076 the abomination H8441 of the Egyptians H4714 to the LORD H3068 our God: H430 lo, shall we sacrifice H2076 the abomination H8441 of the Egyptians H4714 before their eyes, H5869 and will they not stone H5619 us? We will go H3212 three H7969 days' H3117 journey H1870 into the wilderness, H4057 and sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 our God, H430 as he shall command H559 us. And Pharaoh H6547 said, H559 I will let you go, H7971 that ye may sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 your God H430 in the wilderness; H4057 only ye shall not go H3212 very H7368 far away: H7368 intreat H6279 for me. H1157 And Moses H4872 said, H559 Behold, I go out H3318 from thee, and I will intreat H6279 the LORD H3068 that the swarms H6157 of flies may depart H5493 from Pharaoh, H6547 from his servants, H5650 and from his people, H5971 to morrow: H4279 but H7535 let not Pharaoh H6547 deal deceitfully H2048 any more H3254 in not H1115 letting the people H5971 go H7971 to sacrifice H2076 to the LORD. H3068 And Moses H4872 went out H3318 from Pharaoh, H6547 and intreated H6279 the LORD. H3068 And the LORD H3068 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses; H4872 and he removed H5493 the swarms H6157 of flies from Pharaoh, H6547 from his servants, H5650 and from his people; H5971 there remained H7604 not one. H259 And Pharaoh H6547 hardened H3513 his heart H3820 at this time H6471 also, neither would he let the people H5971 go. H7971
And my people H5971 shall dwell H3427 in a peaceable H7965 habitation, H5116 and in sure H4009 dwellings, H4908 and in quiet H7600 resting places; H4496 When it shall hail, H1258 coming down H3381 on the forest; H3293 and the city H5892 shall be low H8213 in a low place. H8218

Commentary on Exodus 9 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 9
In this chapter we have an account of three more of the plagues of Egypt.
Exd 9:1-7
Here is,
Exd 9:8-12
Observe here, concerning the plague of boils and blains,
Exd 9:13-21
Here is,
Exd 9:22-35
The threatened plague of hail is here summoned by the powerful hand and rod of Moses (v. 22, 23), and it obeys the summons, or rather the divine command; for fire and hail fulfil God's word, Ps. 148:8. And here we are told,
