And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
And the LORD said to Moses, 'Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that I can show even more amazing signs and wonders throughout Egypt.'
God is telling Moses that Pharaoh's stubbornness will actually serve God's purpose by giving Him more opportunities to display His incredible power.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs just before the final plague (death of the firstborn) that would force Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. God had already performed nine miraculous plagues through Moses and Aaron, but Pharaoh continued to refuse to let the people go. God was preparing Moses for what was to come while revealing His greater plan to demonstrate His supreme power over Egypt's gods and rulers.
