22. The plague of hail
27. Pharaoh pleads with Moses, but yet is hardened














(4) The Lord shall sever.--Comp. Exodus 8:22. Apparently Israel had been subjected to the first, second, and third plagues, which caused annoyance only, and not loss. Their exemption began with the fourth plague, and then probably continued without intermission, though it is not always mentioned.

Verse 4. - The Lord shall sever. Compare Exodus 8:22. There shall nothing die, etc The original is more emphatic, and might be rendered literally - " There shall not die of all that is the children's of Israel a thing."
