Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

Verse Takeaways

1

Faith Over Fear

Commentators highlight Moses' incredible courage. While Pharaoh and his servants hid from the terrifying storm, Moses walked out into the middle of it to pray. Scholars like Matthew Henry note that this demonstrates how "peace with God makes people thunder-proof." Moses' faith in God's protection was greater than his fear of the deadly hail and lightning.
