Context of Exodus 9:25

23When Moses lifted up his stick towards the sky, the Lord sent a great storm. He sent thunder, hail and lightning. 24The hail fell and there was lightning like fire. It was the worst storm anywhere in Egypt since Egypt had become a nation. Everywhere in Egypt, the hail knocked down everything that was in the fields. It knocked down both people and animals. It knocked down all the plants in the fields and it broke all the trees. 26But no hail fell in the region of Goshen, where the Israelites lived. 27Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron to come to him. He said to them, ‘This time, I have done a bad thing. The Lord is right. I and my people are guilty.
