(Cf) Exodus 28:1 . (See Scofield "Exodus 28:1") .

harden his heart

(Cf) Exodus 8:15 Exodus 8:32 ; 9:34 . In the face of the righteous demand of Jehovah and of the tremendous attestations by miracle that He was indeed God, and that Moses and Aaron were His representatives, Pharaoh "hardened his heart." Instrumentally God hardened Pharaoh's heart by forcing him to an issue against which he hardened his own heart in refusal. Light rejected, rightful obedience refused, inevitably hardens conscience and heart. Romans 9:17-24 .

kill him

(Cf) Genesis 17:14 The context ( Genesis 4:25 ) interprets v. 25. Moses was forgetful of the very foundation sign of Israel's covenant relation to Jehovah. On the eve of delivering Israel he was thus reminded that without circumcision an Israelite was cut off from the covenant. Joshua 5:3-9 .
