In Exodus 9 we read about the killing of the cattle, the boils, and the grievous hail.

For anyone who is curious as to why the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart and performed all of these plagues upon Egypt, they should pay attention to verse 16. God used Egypt’s and namely Pharaoh’s disobedience to show his power to the entire world. And in turn, these events have echoed through time as a warning to all mankind to obey the word of God.

At the same time, we also see the protection that God places over his people.
