He struck their vines and fig trees
This phrase begins with the action of God, "He struck," which indicates a direct intervention by the divine hand. The Hebrew root for "struck" is נָכָה (nakah), often used in the Old Testament to describe a decisive blow or punishment. This action is not random but purposeful, reflecting God's sovereignty and justice. The "vines and fig trees" symbolize prosperity and security in ancient Israelite culture. Vines were essential for wine production, a staple in daily life and religious rituals, while fig trees provided sustenance and shade. The destruction of these plants signifies a severe judgment, stripping away the comforts and stability of life. Historically, this could refer to the plagues in Egypt, where God demonstrated His power over the natural world and the false gods of the Egyptians. Spiritually, it serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the importance of relying on Him for provision and protection.

and shattered the trees of their country
The word "shattered" comes from the Hebrew root שָׁבַר (shabar), meaning to break or destroy completely. This conveys the totality of the devastation inflicted upon the land. The "trees of their country" represent the broader agricultural and ecological systems that sustained life. In the ancient Near East, trees were not only vital for food and resources but also held cultural and religious significance. The destruction of these trees would have been a catastrophic event, leading to economic ruin and societal upheaval. This phrase underscores the extent of God's judgment and serves as a powerful reminder of His control over creation. It also highlights the futility of relying on earthly resources and the importance of placing trust in God. In a broader scriptural context, this act of divine intervention is a call to repentance and a return to faithfulness, emphasizing that true security and prosperity come from obedience to God's will.

Verse 33. - He smote their vines also and their fig trees. The hail "smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field" (Exodus 9:25; comb. Psalm 78:47). The sceptical objection that Egypt had no vines has long been given up. And brake the trees of their coasts. Hail, though it cannot "break" trees of any size, may do great damage to the leaves and the smaller branches.
