Context of Exodus 9:26
24The hail fell and there was lightning like fire. It was the worst storm anywhere in Egypt since Egypt had become a nation. 25Everywhere 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. But 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. 28The storms with the thunder and the hail are too much for us! Pray to the Lord to take them away. Then I will let you go! You do not need to stay any longer in Egypt.’
