I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

EXPLANATION

Verse 3. I shall harden, and so forth; not by being the efficient cause of his hardness of heart, but by permitting it; and by withdrawing grace from him, in punishment of his malice; which alone was the proper cause of his being hardened. Challoner.—He took occasion even from the miracles to become more obdurate. Bible.—Yet Pharao was less impious than Calvin, for he takes the sin to himself. Calmet. 9:27. Tirinus.
