John Gill Commentary Psalms 105:32

"He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land." — Psalms 105:32 (ASV)

He gave them hail for rain
Egypt, at least part of it, was not used to rain, but was watered by the overflowings of the Nile; but now it had hail for rain, and a grievous hail storm it was, such as was never seen in the land of Egypt before; hail being rare, if ever there, and so frost and snow ^F1 ; this was the seventh plague, (Exodus 9:18–26) , compare with this the terrible storm of hail which will fall on men at the pouring out of the seventh vial on spiritual Egypt, (Revelation 16:21) .

And flaming fire in their land ;
for a storm of thunder and lightning went along with the hail; fire was mingled with it, and ran upon the ground, (Exodus 9:23Exodus 9:24) .
