Exodus 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 7:3

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart
(See Gill on Exodus 4:21) and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt;
work one miracle and wonderful sign after another, until they are all wrought intended to be wrought; and which he had given Moses power to do, and until the end should be answered and obtained, the letting go of the children of Israel.

Exodus 7:3 In-Context

1 The Lord said, "I am going to make you like God to the king, and your brother Aaron will speak to him as your prophet.
2 Tell Aaron everything I command you, and he will tell the king to let the Israelites leave his country.
3 But I will make the king stubborn, and he will not listen to you, no matter how many terrifying things I do in Egypt. Then I will bring severe punishment on Egypt and lead the tribes of my people out of the land.
5 The Egyptians will then know that I am the Lord, when I raise my hand against them and bring the Israelites out of their country."
