Exodus 9:35 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:35

And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened
Instead of being softened, as it seemed to be when under the plague, it became harder and harder when delivered from it:

neither would he let the children of Israel go;
though he had so absolutely promised it, and assured them that he would not keep them, and that they should not stay any longer:

as the Lord had spoken by Moses;
that so his heart would be hardened until the signs and wonders were multiplied upon him, God designed to perform, ( Exodus 4:21 ) ( 7:3 ) .

Exodus 9:35 In-Context

33 So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.

34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the ice-storm and the thunders were ended, he went on sinning, and made his heart hard, he and his servants.

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.
