The Word Ra likely simply meant calamity, or disaster- not evil itself- while it can mean evil- in this verse it need not be the definition- because we know God controls weather and can and does create chaos, calamity etc for his own will, so there is no reason to htink that hte word RA must be translated evil in that translation- other translations have it as disaster, calamity, etc
