Hail, Hail!
When hail comes down from the sky, it can be quite small, like the size of peas, or very large — as large as melons! The most common kind of hail is about the size of golf balls. These hailstones or balls of ice weigh in at several pounds and can be very dangerous to someone caught out in a storm.
The Lord asks Gideon to lead Israel in a victory over the Midi anites. — Jdes 6–7:22
