How preachers through history handled this text

11 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 9, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 5 Calvin 4 Spurgeon 1 John Wesley 1

“Woful havoc this hail made: it killed both men and cattle; the corn above ground was destroyed, and that only preserved which as yet was not come up. The land of Goshen was preserved. God causes rain or hail on one city and not on another, either in mercy or in judgment. Pharaoh humbled himself to Moses. No man could have spoken better: he owns himself wrong; he owns that the Lord is righteous; and God must be justified when he speaks, though he speaks in thunder and lightning. Yet his heart was hardened all this while. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 9:22–35 (Public Domain)
