Exodus 8:32 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:32

And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also
As he did before, when he found the plague was removed, and the flies were gone: neither would he let the people go;
through pride and covetousness, being loath to have the number of those under his dominion so much diminished, and to lose so large a branch of his revenues arising from the labour of these people.

Exodus 8:32 In-Context

30 Moses left the king and prayed to the Lord,
31 and the Lord did as Moses asked. The flies left the king, his officials, and his people; not one fly remained.
32 But even this time the king became stubborn, and again he would not let the people go.
