Hail, and fire mingled with the hail - It is generally allowed that the electric fluid is essential to the formation of hail. On this occasion it was supplied in a supernatural abundance; for streams of fire seem to have accompanied the descending hail, so that herbs and trees, beasts and men, were all destroyed by them.

So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail,.... Which was a miracle within a miracle, as Aben Ezra observes; and very wonderful indeed it was, that the hail did not quench the fire, nor the fire melt the hail, as Philo the Jew (i) remarks:
very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation; See Gill on Exodus 9:18.
(i) De Vita. Mosis, l. 1. p. 620.

"Fire mingled;" lit., collected together, i.e., formed into balls (cf. Ezekiel 1:4). "The lightning took the form of balls of fire, which came down like burning torches."
