And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
And the LORD said to Moses, 'Go to Pharaoh, because I have made his heart and his officials' hearts stubborn, so that I can display these miraculous signs in front of him.'
God is telling Moses to continue confronting Pharaoh because God has allowed Pharaoh's stubbornness to persist so He can demonstrate His power through miraculous signs.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Exodus, God is using Moses as His messenger to confront Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, who has enslaved the Israelites and refused to let them go. God has deliberately hardened Pharaoh's heart to showcase His divine power through a series of plagues, allowing these miraculous signs to demonstrate His supremacy over the Egyptian gods and to fulfill His promise to deliver His people from bondage.
