⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

This verse shows Pharaoh deliberately choosing to ignore and dismiss what God had just demonstrated through Moses.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs after Aaron's staff turned into a snake and swallowed the Egyptian magicians' staffs, demonstrating God's superior power. Pharaoh had just witnessed a clear sign of God's authority, but he chose to harden his heart and ignore the warning. This was the beginning of the ten plagues that would eventually force Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery.
