7566.出埃及记9:22-26.耶和华对摩西说,你向天伸手,埃及全地必有冰雹,降在人身上和牲畜身上,并埃及地的田间各样菜蔬上。摩西向天伸杖,耶和华就发声、下冰雹,有火闪到地上,耶和华使冰雹如下雨降在埃及地上。那时有冰雹;有火在冰雹中间窜动,甚是厉害,自它成为一个民族以来,在埃及全地没有这样的。冰雹在埃及全地击打了田间所有的,从人到牲畜;冰雹又击打了田间一切的菜蔬,又打坏田间一切的树木。惟独以色列人所住的歌珊地没有冰雹。

7566. Verses 22-26. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt. And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven; and Jehovah gave voices and hail, and the fire walked unto the land, and Jehovah made it rain hail upon the land of Egypt. And there was hail, and fire walking at the same time in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as had not been like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, from man and even to beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail. "And Jehovah said unto Moses," signifies a command; "Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven," signifies attention, and the approach of heaven; "and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt," signifies destroying falsity in the natural mind; "upon man, and upon beast," signifies interior and exterior good; "and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt," signifies every truth of the church in the natural mind; "and Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven," signifies communication with heaven; "and Jehovah gave voices," signifies the withdrawal and separation of the communication with those who are in good and truth; "and hail," signifies falsities destroying these goods and truths; "and the fire walked unto the land," signifies the evils of cupidities; "and Jehovah made it rain hail upon the land of Egypt," signifies the natural mind taken possession of by the falsities of evil; "and there was hail, and fire walking at the same time in the midst of the hail, very grievous," signifies the persuasions of falsity together with the cupidities of evil; "such as has not been like it in all the land of Egypt," signifies that no others had such a state of the natural mind; "since it became a nation," signifies from the day in which it was made capable of admitting good and the derivative truth; "and the hail smote in all the land of Egypt," signifies that this falsity destroyed the things that were in the natural mind; "all that was in the field," signifies whatever was of the church; "from man and even to beast," signifies its interior and exterior good; "and the hail smote every herb of the field," signifies that these falsities destroyed every truth of the church; "and broke every tree of the field," signifies that they also destroyed all the knowledges of truth and good of the church; "only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail," signifies that it was not so where those were who were of the spiritual church.

7566. Verses 22-26 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand towards heaven, and there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt. And Moses stretched out his rod towards heaven, and Jehovah gave forth voicesa and hail, and fire ran down to the earth; and Jehovah caused hail to rain onto the land of Egypt. And there was hail, and at the same time fire running downb in the midst of the hail, extremely heavy, of which there had not been the like in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt everything that was in the field, from man and even to beast; and the hail struck every plant of the field, and broke every tree of the field. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
'And Jehovah said to Moses' means a command. 'Stretch out your hand towards heaven' means attention drawn to heaven, which would then come nearer. 'And there will be hail in all the land of Egypt' means destructive falsity in the natural mind. 'On man and on beast' means interior and exterior good. 'And on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt' means every truth of the Church in the natural mind. 'And Moses stretched out his rod towards heaven' means communication with heaven. 'And Jehovah gave forth voices' means the departure and severance of communication with those governed by good and guided by truth. 'And hail' means those destructive falsities. 'And fire ran down to the earth' means evil desires. 'And He caused hail to rain onto the land of Egypt' means the natural mind, which falsities arising from evil took possession of. 'And there was hail, and at the same time fire running down in the midst of the hail, extremely heavy' means firm beliefs in what is false together with desires for evil. 'Of which there had not been the like in all the land of Egypt' means that such a state of the natural mind did not exist in any others. 'Since it became a nation' means from the day on which it happened that it was able to admit goodness and therefore truth into itself. 'And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt' means that that falsity destroyed the things which were in the natural mind. 'Everything that was in the field' means whatever was an attribute of the Church. 'From man and even to beast' means its good, interior and exterior. 'And the hail struck every plant of the field' means that those falsities destroyed all of the Church's truth. 'And broke every tree of the field' means that they also destroyed all the Church's cognitions of truth and good. 'Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail' means that they did not destroy anything where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were.
