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 ) .

33 And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.

34 And Pharao seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin:

35 And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
