And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had stopped, he sinned even more and made his heart stubborn again, along with his officials.
This verse shows how Pharaoh became even more rebellious and stubborn once the immediate danger of God's judgment had passed.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Exodus, Pharaoh was the ruler of Egypt who repeatedly refused to let the Israelites go, despite experiencing the devastating plagues sent by God as judgments. After the seventh plague of hail and thunder subsided, Pharaoh saw the immediate relief and chose to harden his heart further, continuing his rebellion along with his officials. This event underscores the ancient Egyptian context of royal pride and resistance to divine authority, illustrating a pattern seen throughout the plagues.
