Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

13And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

14For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

15For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

16And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

17As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

18Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

19Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

20He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

21And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

22And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

23And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

24So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.

Exodus 9:13-25

Biblical Context

God commands Moses to demand Israel's release; a severe hailstorm demonstrates divine power and judgments. Those who fear the Lord act, while those who ignore the word remain exposed; the storm devastates the fields, cattle, and trees, revealing the consequences of resisting the higher will.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh is the stubborn ego inside you that says, 'I will not let go of this belief or pattern.' The LORD is the I AM within, the awareness that you are more than appearances. Moses is your awakening imagination, rising early in consciousness to speak with authority: Let my people go, that they may serve me. The plagues and the hail are inner movements of belief—dramatic weather in your psyche that reveals what you truly identify with. When you stand in the knowing that there is none like the I AM in all the earth, you begin to see that power is not punishment but signal and invitation. The command to bring indoors what is in the field is a cue to withdraw attention from external appearances and shelter your awareness in the truth. The storm clarifies: the one who fears the word aligns with higher possibility; the one who regards not the word stays in the field of limitation. The inner master record remains faithful: your awareness is divine, and through it you move from bondage to freedom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For the next day, assume you are already free: declare 'I am free now' and feel the release as your inner storm subsides; repeatedly pronounce 'Let my people go' to any limiting belief and bring your attention inward, imagining the sky clearing and you standing in peace.
