Pharaoh pleads with Moses, but yet is hardened Still, you lord it over My people This phrase highlights Pharaoh's persistent arrogance and refusal to humble himself before God. The term "lord it over" suggests a tyrannical and oppressive rule, which is consistent with Pharaoh's treatment of the Israelites as slaves. This behavior is a direct challenge to God's authority, as the Israelites are referred to as "My people," indicating God's covenant relationship with them. This echoes God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 15:13-14, where He foretold the oppression of his descendants and their eventual deliverance.
