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 God told Moses, "Look at me. I'll make you as a god to Pharaoh and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 You are to speak everything I command you, and your brother Aaron will tell it to Pharaoh. Then he will release the Israelites from his land.
3 At the same time I am going to put Pharaoh's back up and follow it up by filling Egypt with signs and wonders.
4 Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, but I will have my way against Egypt and bring out my soldiers, my people the Israelites, from Egypt by mighty acts of judgment.
5 The Egyptians will realize that I am God when I step in and take the Israelites out of their country."
