What does Exodus 9:29 mean?

Moses will appeal to God to end the vicious hailstorm (Exodus 9:24–25). It's clear that this power belongs to the Lord, and Moses is merely reaching out to God in supplication. The hail and thunder would end after Moses' request as yet another sign that all of creation and nature belong to the Lord. This also reflects the creation account in Genesis 1—2. God was now showing His control over the earth through His various plagues and the distinctions He made between the land of Egypt and the land of Goshen (Exodus 9:26).

Though Pharaoh would continue to oppose the Lord, the people of Egypt saw this as a sign of God's power as well. This will even inspire the people to question their king's decisions (Exodus 10:7). The Egyptians would eventually give their own silver and gold to encourage the Israelites to go away (Exodus 11:1–2; 12:36).
