Rabbi Baruch Epstein or Baruch ha-Levi Epstein (1860-1941) was a Lithuanian rabbi, best known for his Torah Temimah commentary on the Torah.
Epstein grew up in Novarodok, where his father was the communal rabbi, but moved to the city of Pinsk after his marriage and lived there until his death, apart from a period from 1923 to 1926, which he spent in the United States of America looking (unsuccessfully) for a rabbinic position.
Although Epstein was a bookkeeper by profession, he had been a student at the Volozhin Yeshiva (under his uncle Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin) and authored a number of popular and scholarly works.

From the above posuk and Rashi’s commentary we learn that it was a wonderful blessing to live in a land that is watered by Hashem’s rain instead of living in a land that requires the toil of irrigation.
Rav Epstein explains that the destructive hail was accompanied by rain.
This is indicated in the posuk, which says that, “Hashem rained hail upon the land of Egypt” (Shemos 9:23), instead of it simply saying that Hashem caused hail to descend upon the land of Egypt.

However, due to Moshe’s sensitivity for the honor of the Jewish people he did not rebuke them openly but only hinted to their transgressions by mentioning the places were they sinned against Hashem.
In the sefer Tosefes Berachah, Rav Baruch Epstein takes note that later in chumash Devarim, Moshe openly rebukes the Jewish people in great detail for the sins committed in these very places.
We may suggest that the reason Moshe rebuked the Jewish people twice in sefer Devarim was once for each role that he served, namely, as prophet and teacher.
