⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Pharaoh finally admits he has done wrong and that God is right, though this confession comes only after severe judgment.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs during the seventh plague (hail) that God sent upon Egypt through Moses. Pharaoh had repeatedly hardened his heart and refused to let the Israelites go despite previous plagues. The devastating hailstorm finally broke through his stubborn resistance, at least temporarily.
