Ministry on This Verse

+
 There are three words used in the Hebrew, which are rendered “harden” in relation to the king. Seven times it is said, “He hardeneth his own heart,” or “His heart hardened itself” (ch. 8:13 – where it should read, “Pharaoh’s heart resisted” – and verses 14,22; ch. 8:15,19,32; and ch. 9:7). After this sevenfold obduracy, and not till then, is it said, “The Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart.” This is said four times (ch. 9:12,34-35; 10:1), and on the last occasion the hearts of Pharaoh’s servants are included in the judgment. It has been pointed out in this chapter how Pharaoh’s court intervened when the locusts were threatened; they would not, however, yield to Jehovah, they preferred the favor of Pharaoh, so that this hardening of their hearts on that occasion is very striking. A definite and willful obduracy is stamped upon Pharaoh’s spirit, and a determined rejection of the divine warnings, becoming deeper and deeper with sevenfold intensity; after that climax he and his court, which also rejected God, were delivered over to their doom. (The Third Three Plagues of Egypt by H.F. Witherby)
