Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Exo 9:33 - Moses went out of the city

Not only for privacy in his communion with God, but to shew that he durst venture abroad into the field, notwithstanding the hail and lightning, knowing that every hail - stone had its direction from God.

Wesley: Exo 9:33 - Peace with God makes men thunder

proof, for it is the voice of their father.

Wesley: Exo 9:33 - And spread abroad his hands unto the Lord

An outward expression of earnest desire, and humble expectation. He prevailed with God; but he could not prevail with Pharaoh; he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart - The prayer of Moses opened and shut heaven, like Elijah's. And such is the power of God's two witnesses, Rev 11:6. Yet neither Moses nor Elijah, nor those two witnesses, could subdue the hard hearts of men. Pharaoh was frighted into compliance by the judgment, but, when it was over, his convictions vanished.

JFB: Exo 9:27-35 - Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned

This awful display of divine displeasure did seriously impress the mind of Pharaoh, and, under the weight of his convictions, he humbles himself to confess he has done wrong in opposing the divine will. At the same time he calls for Moses to intercede for cessation of the calamity. Moses accedes to his earnest wishes, and this most awful visitation ended. But his repentance proved a transient feeling, and his obduracy soon became as great as before.

Clarke: Exo 9:33 - Spread abroad his hands

Spread abroad his hands - Probably with the rod of God in them. See what has been said on the spreading out of the hands in prayer, Exo 9:29. See Clarke on Exo 9:29 (note).

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Exo 9:33 - Moses went out of the city

Moses went out of the city that, being solitary, he might pour forth his heart in fervent prayers.

Gill: Exo 9:33 - And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh // and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord // and the thunder and hail ceased

And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh,.... Into the field, where, being retired from company, he could freely, and without being disturbed, pray unto God:

and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord; denoting the spreading of cases before God, and expectation, hope, and readiness to receive favours from him:

and the thunder and hail ceased; immediately upon the entreaty of Moses; see the power and prevalence of prayer: a like instance we have in Elijah, Jam 5:17 and the rain was not poured upon the earth; so that there was rain as well as hail, which was restrained and entirely ceased.
