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;

Exodus 7:3 In-Context

1 And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.

2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land.

3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.

5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them. ”
