A slight variation to the general haggadda theme:
The plague of ??? (Hail)
?? ???? ????, ??? ??? ?? ?? ????? ?? ???,
This passuk tells us that by ???, Hashem sent “all his plagues”.
What does that mean?
The Vilna Gaon states that there are three categories of plagues that Hashem uses for punishing ?????. Namely, fire, water and wind.
The ??? ????? was obviously punished with water. Wind was the method of destruction against the ??? ?????. And ???? was destroyed by fire.
We can see by the 10 makkos that each of these were used. ?? & ????? were plagues of water. ???? was in the category of wind and ???? was fire.
By ???, we find that all three methods were incorporated in ???. It itself was water (ice), the inside of the hail was fire, and we know that wind was a factor, since it says “???? ?????”
This is the explanation of the words ?? ?? ????? (all my plagues).
