Drops of rain formed into ice by the power of cold in the upper regions of the atmosphere. Hail was among the plagues of Egypt, Exodus 9:24 , and was the more terrible, because it rarely occurred in that country. Hail was also made use of by God for defeating an army of Canaanites, Joshua 10:11; and is used figuratively to represent terrible judgments, Isaiah 28:2; Revelation 16:21 .
