Notice the name of the goddess Qetesh is the similar Hebrew word "kodesh" (קדש), meaning "holy", but on the opposite definition, it means "a male prostitute".



Verses thirteen through eighteen

THE SEVENTH PLAGUE

13 And יהוה said to Moses, Arise early (Wake up, Load up, Start up) in the breaking period (morning), and you shall stand to the face of Pharaoh, and you shall say to him, Thus says יהוה, Elohim of the Hebrim (Hebrews), Send away את-My People, and may serve Me. 14 For in this time, I will send את-all of My smitings (plagues) to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people; in order [(in over)] you may know for no one is like Me in all of the Earth. 15 For now, I have stretched out (stretched forth) את-My Hand, and I have striken you and את-your people on the pestilence; and you have been cut down (secreted) from the Earth. 16 And surely (howbeit), in order [(in over)] that I have made you stand this, in order [(in over)] that you will see את-My Power; by that, My Name may be enrolled (scrolled, numbered) in all of the Earth. 17 You are still with exalting (extoling) against My People by failing at sending them away. 18 Behold, according to [(as)] the time tomorrow will I mater-rain much heavy hail which has not been like him in Egypt, by from the day was founded and until now.

Notice in verse thirteen of this week's Torah portion passage that this was the first time Aaron was not involved with Moses when יהוה spoke to him

13 And יהוה said to Moses,... and you shall say to him,

It is most probable that Moses had enough confidence to do it without Aaron, and יהוה brought Moses to Pharaoh by himself. Moses was supposed to do it alone as יהוה said to him from the beginning, which is noted in the Torah portion of Sh'moth, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 3:18 ...and you shall come, you and the Elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, hwhy, Elohim of the Hebrim (Hebrews), has befell (happened, bought about) upon us: and now, we will go now at a way of three days in the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to יהוה, our Elohim. 19 And I, I know for the king of Egypt will not give you to go, and not on a Strong Hand.

יהוה still allowed Aaron to be his sidekick.

Notice also in verse fourteen of this week's Torah portion passage that יהוה that Moses said to Pharaoh

14 ...I will send את-all of My plagues (stumblings) to your heart,

This is the first time that Moses, or Moses and Aaron, said anything like that to Pharaoh. In previous times, they said to Pharaoh that the plague will strike him only. Now they are to plague his heart.

Looking at the word HAIL

The Hebrew word for hail is "bah-rahd"- Bet, Resh, Dalet (ברד). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1259, and its definition

From H1258; hail: - hail ([stones]).

from 1258 "bah-rahd" (ברד), and its definition

A primitive root, to hail: - hail.

This is where we get the modern English word "broad", meaning the hail is broad in size. It was probably the size between the size of golfballs and softballs.

Notice in verse sixteen of this week's Torah portion passage what Moses said to Pharaoh:

16 ...I have made you stand this, in order [(in over)] that you will see את-My Power; by that, My Name may be enrolled (scrolled, numbered) in all of the Earth.

Moses did not say "know" this time, but "see". Why didn't Moses say "know" to Pharaoh? Mabye Pharaoh had "known" יהוה enough, that it was time for him to "see" יהוה's actions. Notice that Moses didn't say יהוה by Name, but Moses said to Pharaoh that His "Name" will be declared.



Verses nineteen through twenty-one 

19 And now, Send out the sheltering (retiring, strengthening) of את-your livestock, and את all which belongs to you in the field; all of the Adam and the animals which are found in the field, and shall not be gathered to the house, and the hail shall descend (come down) upon them, and they shall be the death [(and they shall die)]. 20 The one revering (giving awe, fearing) את-the Word of יהוה from the servants of Pharaoh, את-his servants, and את-his livestock, were fleeing to their houses: 21 And the which did not set his heart to the Word of יהוה, and was the forsaking of את-his servants and את-his livestock in the field.

Comparing to the previous plagues, this was the first time the Egyptians were warned of any plague by the Word of יהוה, and it was the plague of pestilence.

Indirectly related to warnings, compare this plague to all of the Prophets who prophesied against the Israelites throughout the centuries. Some have obeyed the warnings, but most of them didn't. It cost the Northern House of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel to be divorced from יהוה and exiled from the land, and lost their identity. The Southern House of the Two Tribes of Judah were not, but they were warned by the prophets as well that they would kicked out the land for a while, and returned to the land after seventy years of Babylonian captivity. Yeshua came centuries later, but the Jewish People failed to see His time of visitation. Yeshua warned His disciples that the Temple would be destroyed, and He warned them about "the beginning of sorrows". The Temple was destroyed about forty years after Yeshua's resurrection, and the Jewish People were dispersed from the land again for another 1,900 years before returning to the land again in 1948.



Verses twenty two through thirty

22 And יהוה said to Moses, Stretch out (Stretch forth) את-your hand upon the Heavens, and shall be hail in all of the land of Egypt upon (over) the Adam, and upon (over) the animals, and upon (over) every herb (plant, grass) of the field in the land of Egypt. 23 And Moses stretched out (stretched forth) את-his staff (rod, branch) upon the Heavens: and יהוה gave sounds, and hail; and fire, she went (walked) to the Earth; And יהוה did the mater-raining of hail upon (over) the land of Egypt. 24 And was hail, and fire was reserved (fetched, taken) in the midst of the much heavy hail which has been none like him in all of the land of Egypt from since she became for a nation. 25 And the hail struck in all of the land of Egypt את all which was in the field from Adam and unto animals; And the hail struck את every herb (plant, grass) of the field, and shever-shattered (shever-broken) את-every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen which the Sons of Israel were there was no hail. 27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned that time: יהוה is the Righteous One, and I and my people are the wicked ones. 28 Intercede (Entreat) to יהוה, and much, from becoming of the sounds of Elohim, and hail; And I will send you away, and you shall not add (continue, augment) to remain (stand). 29 And Moses said unto him, As I go out of את-the city, I will spread out את-my palms to יהוה; The sound, they shall be idle, and shall not be any more hail; by that, you may know for the Earth belongs to יהוה.

30 And you and your servants, I know for you will not yet revere (give awe, fear) [(you will be hesitant (suspending) at revering (giving awe, fearing))] from the Face of יהוה Elohim.

Notice Pharaoh said in verse twenty seven in this week's Torah portion passage

27 ...I have sinned that time: יהוה is the Righteous One, and I and my people are the wicked ones.

In other words, Pharaoh might as well said, "OK, I didn't sin "until now", and I made a mistake..... oops, you caught me. We are "bad people"", an equivalent of Pharaoh slapping his wrist and saying "Bad Pharaoh. Bad Pharaoh", like it was a big deal to him.

Moses knew that Pharaoh was not going to give up, as well as his servants, for it wasn't יהוה's time yet for the Israelites to leave Egypt.

Notice that in verse twenty nine of this week's Torah portion passage, Moses says to Pharaoh:

29 ...by that, you may know for the Earth belongs to יהוה.

Moses went back to the "know" factor, only "this time", he says that the "earth" belongs to יהוה, meaning that it's יהוה who possesses the earth, and not Pharaoh, so called Rah on earth.



Verses thirty-one through thirty three

31 And the flax and the barley were stricken: for the barley was at aviv stage (earing stage, green earing stage), and the flax was of calyx stage (fused petal stage). 32 And the wheat and the spelt (rye), they were not stricken: for they were unripened. 33 And Moses went out from with Pharaoh of את-the city, and spread out his palms to יהוה: and the sounds (thunder) and the hail became idle, and the mater-rain had not poured to the Earth.

Based on this week's Torah portion passage, it gives us a hint that this plague occurred before the creation of the new Biblical month of the new Biblical year, or in the beginning of the new Biblical Month of the Biblical year. The hint is based on the barley's stage of growth. 

Looking at the word EARRING STAGE

The Hebrew word for earring stage is "ah-veev"- Aleph, Bet, Yod, Bet (אביב). It is from Strong's Concordance number 24, and its definition

From an unused root (meaning to be tender); green, that is a young ear of grain; hence the name of the month Abib or Nisan: - Abib, ear, green ears of corn.

Notice that it is the similar word of "av" (אב), meaning "father"

 This is the name of the future new Biblical month, which is noted in the Torah portion of Bo, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 12:1 And יהוה spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, to say, 2 This renewed month shall be to you the head of renewed months: he shall be to you the first for the renewed months of the year.... 13:4 Today you came out in the renewed month of the Aviv (אביב).
 
In other words, this "Aviv" month could be also called the "Av" month, meaning that this month was the "father" of months. This would be called the first Biblical month of the new Biblical year. It is possible that the earing, or "aviv", stage of the barley that was smitten by the hail was roughly less than three weeks time prior to Israel's departure in the Exodus Passover.



Verses thirty four and thirty five

34 And Pharaoh saw for the mater-rain and the hail and the sounds (thunder) became idle, and and added to the sin, and his heart became heavy, he and his servants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was strengthened, and did not send away את-the Sons of Israel; as the which יהוה spoke on the hand of Moses.

In verse thirty four of this week's Torah portion passage, Pharaoh made his heart "heavy" ("kavahd" (כבד)), because he was sinning in his own matter, but in verse thirty five, יהוה "strengthened" his heart ("khazak" (חזק)).

King David noted of this plague, which is noted in the book of the Psalms

Psalm 105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.


REVELATION'S RELEVANCE TO THE SEVENTH PLAGUE

There will be hail pouring down on earth in the end times, which is noted in the apostle John's letter in the book of Revelation

Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the Temple of Heaven, from the Throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before יהוה, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His Wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of Heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed יהוה because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

As the late Brad Scott of Wildbrach Ministry and Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries say "The end is declared from the beginning".


THE EGYPTIAN eLOHIM RELATING TO THE SEVENTH PLAGUE

There were gods and goddesses involved with the hail.

The first possible Egyptian deity is "Nut". This is what Answers.com says regarding Nut

"Nut: Sky goddess b. Shu: god of air; associated with calm or cooling c. Tefnut: goddess of water/moisture; linked to sun adn moon d. Seth: associated primarily with chaos but also thunder, the desert and infertility".


This is what Wikipedia says regarding Nut:

"Nut (/nʌt/ or /nuːt/) or Neuth (/nuːθ/ or /njuːθ/; also spelled Nuit or Newet) is the goddess of the sky in the Ennead of ancient Egyptian religion. She was seen as a star-covered nude woman arching over the earth, or as a cow. Nut is a daughter of Shu and Tefnut. Her husband and brother is Geb. She has five children: Osiris, Set, Isis, Nephthys, and Horus. Her name is translated to mean 'sky' and she is considered one of the oldest deities among the Egyptian pantheon, with her origin being found on the creation story of Heliopolis. She was originally the goddess of the nighttime sky, but eventually became referred to as simply the sky goddess. Her headdress was the hieroglyphic of part of her name, a pot, which may also symbolize the uterus. Mostly depicted in nude human form, Nut was also sometimes depicted in the form of a cow whose great body formed the sky and heavens, a sycamore tree, or as a giant sow, suckling many piglets (representing the stars)."

These are the images of these deities:

Nut repesents the heavens, and Geb is laying below represents the earth
