And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Moses and Aaron performed all these miraculous signs in front of Pharaoh, but the LORD made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, so he refused to let the Israelites leave his country.
This verse shows that despite witnessing God's powerful miracles through Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh remained obstinate and refused to free the Israelites from slavery.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, Moses and Aaron were sent by God to demand that Pharaoh release the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, performing a series of miraculous plagues to demonstrate God's power. Despite these signs, God intentionally hardened Pharaoh's heart to showcase His sovereignty and to fulfill His plan for Israel's deliverance through greater judgment. This event highlights the tension between human free will and divine control in the biblical narrative.
