Pharaoh pleads with Moses, but yet is hardened But as for you and your officials This phrase addresses Pharaoh and his court, highlighting the collective responsibility and shared guilt of the Egyptian leadership. In the context of the plagues, it underscores the stubbornness and hard-heartedness of not just Pharaoh but also his advisors. Historically, Egyptian officials were deeply entrenched in the polytheistic culture, which made the acknowledgment of the God of Israel particularly challenging. This collective mention emphasizes the widespread resistance to God's commands. I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God. Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe prophet and leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt. In this context, Moses is delivering God's message to Pharaoh. 2. Pharaoh The ruler of Egypt, whose heart is hardened against letting the Israelites go. He represents resistance to God's will. 3. Egypt The land where the Israelites are enslaved. It is the setting for the plagues that God sends as signs of His power and judgment. 4. The Plagues A series of divine judgments sent by God upon Egypt to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites. This verse occurs during the seventh plague, the plague of hail. 5. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness to His promises. Teaching Points The Importance of the Fear of the LordTrue fear of the Lord involves reverence, awe, and submission to His will. Pharaoh's lack of fear demonstrates a heart resistant to God's authority. The Consequences of a Hardened Heart Pharaoh's hardened heart serves as a warning of the dangers of resisting God's will. It leads to judgment and missed opportunities for repentance. God's Sovereignty and Patience Despite Pharaoh's resistance, God remains sovereign and patient, using the situation to reveal His power and glory. This encourages believers to trust in God's timing and purposes. The Role of Obedience in Faith Moses' obedience in delivering God's message contrasts with Pharaoh's disobedience. Believers are called to obey God's commands, trusting in His wisdom and authority. The Call to Repentance Pharaoh's account is a call to examine our own hearts for areas of resistance to God. Repentance and submission to God lead to spiritual freedom and growth.Verse 30. - I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord. True fear of God is shown by obedience to his commands. Pharaoh and his servants had the sort of fear which devils have - " they believed and trembled." But they had not yet that real reverential fear which is joined with love, and has, as its fruit, obedience. So the event showed. (See verses 34, 35.) Parallel Commentaries ...
