Glancing Through the Scriptures!

(KJV.)  EXODUS 9:15-21

The Plague of Hail and Fire.

(15)  For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

(16)  And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up for to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

(17)  As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not, let them go?

(18)  Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

(19)  Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

(20)  He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;

(21)  And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the filed.

ADDENDUM

About the above narratives; what would be the motive of Pharaoh's refusal to listen to Moses.s pleas for the Israelites deliverance, but allowed the saga to continue to pester with his land?

I thank you, for reading with me,  God bless you!
