A Miracle Within a Miracle
Commentators emphasize the extraordinary nature of this plague. It wasn't just hail; it was 'fire mingled with the hail.' Scholars like John Gill, citing ancient Jewish thinkers, call this a 'miracle within a miracle,' highlighting the paradox of fire and ice coexisting without the fire melting the hail or the hail quenching the fire. This underscores the supernatural power of God at work.
