Commentary

This site's exposition

Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh

on Exodus 9:13-14

The seventh plague opens the third group of three with the morning warning, the slot the blood and the flies held at 7:15 and 8:20. What follows is the heaviest language yet, all my plagues upon thine heart, and the stated aim is knowledge rather than damage, that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. The book gives that reason again and again, at 7:5, 8:10, 8:22, 9:29 and 14:18.

This site's exposition

there is no one like Me in all the earth

The warning before the hail states the purpose of the plagues still to come. The LORD will send all His plagues so that Pharaoh may know there is no one like Him in all the earth. Albert Barnes, on verse 13, takes all My plagues to cover every plague that follows, each foreseen and foretold, and reads the warning as a promise of blows in quick succession.

proposed

"Now I will send all my plagues. " Now that no place is found for repentance in Pharaoh, nothing can prevent his utter destruction, for that only would have prevented it. Now that God begins to harden his heart, his case is desperate.
