Contextual Overview

40 How often they, Resisted him in the desert, Vexed him, in the waste: 41 Yea they again put GOD to the test, And, to the Holy One of Israel, caused they sorrow: 42 They remembered not his hand - The day, When he ransomed them from the adversary; 43 When he set, in Egypt, his signs, And his wonders, in the plain of Zoan; 44 When he turned, into blood, their Nile-streams, And, their own rivers, could they not drink; 45 He sent among them, The gad-fly, and it devoured them, And the frog, and it despoiled them; 46 When he gave to the corn-locust their produce, And their toil, to the swarming locust; 47 He killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost: 48 When he gave up, to hail-storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers; 49 He sent among them the heat of his anger, Wrath and indignation and distress, - A mission of messengers of misfortune:

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

gave up: Heb. shut up

hot thunderbolts: or, lightnings, Exodus 9:28

Reciprocal: Exodus 9:6 - General Exodus 9:23 - and hail Deuteronomy 4:34 - by signs Psalms 18:13 - thundered Psalms 105:32 - them hail for rain Psalms 147:17 - casteth Revelation 8:7 - hail

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He gave up their cattle also to the hail,.... For the hail fell upon man and beast, as well as upon herbs and trees, Exodus 9:22,

and their flocks to hot thunderbolts: which were killed by them: this is to be understood of the fire that was mingled with the hail, and ran upon the ground, and destroyed their flocks, Exodus 9:23. Jarchi, out of the Midrash, interprets the words of fowls which devoured the sheep killed by the hail.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He gave up their cattle also to the hail - Margin, he shut up. Exodus 9:22-25.

And their flocks to hot thunderbolts - Margin, lightnings. The original word means flame; then, lightning. There is no allusion in the word to the idea of a bolt, or shaft, accompanying the lightning or the thunder, by which destruction is produced. The destruction is caused by the lightning, and not by the thunder, and it is hardly necessary to say that there is no shaft or bolt that accompanies it. Probably this notion was formerly entertained, and found its way into the common language used. The same idea is retained by us in the word thunderbolt. But this idea is not in the original; nor is there any foundation for it in fact.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:48. He gave up their cattle — See on Exodus 9:23.
