A Turning Point in Judgment

Commentators agree that this verse signals a dramatic escalation. The phrase "all my plagues" refers not just to the hail but to a new, more severe series of judgments. After previous plagues failed to change Pharaoh's mind, God announces that the punishments will now be rapid, comprehensive, and more intense, moving from property damage to direct threats against life.
