When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, show a miracle for you ,.... To prove that they came from God, the Jehovah they said they did, and that they were his ambassadors, and came in his name, and made the demand for him; which when he seriously reflected on things, he would be ready to require, hoping they would not be able to show any, and then he should have somewhat against them, and treat them as impostors: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, take thy rod ; the same that Moses had in... read more

Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers ,.... The cunning men and wizards, a sort of jugglers and deceivers, who pretended to great knowledge of things, to discover secrets, tell fortunes, and predict things to come, and by legerdemain tricks, and casting a mist before people's eyes, pretended to do very wonderful and amazing things; and therefore Pharaoh sent for these, to exercise their art and cunning, and see if they could not vie with Moses and Aaron: now the... read more

For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents ,.... That is, they seemed to be so, as Josephus F26 Antiqu. ut supra. (l. 2. c. 13 sect. 3.) expresses it, but not really, in which he is followed by many; though some think that the devil assisted in this affair, and in an instant, as soon as the rods were cast down, removed them and put real serpents in their room: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods ; that is, the serpent that Aaron's rod was turned into,... read more

And he hardened Pharaoh's heart ,.... Or, "notwithstanding the heart of Pharaoh was hardened" F1 ויחזק "attamen obfirmatum est", Junius & Tremellius. ; though he saw the rods of his magicians devoured by rod; or "therefore" F2 "Itaque", Piscator. his heart was hardened, because he saw that the rods of his magicians became serpents as well as Aaron's; in which there was a deception of sight, and which was suffered for the hardening of his heart, there being other wonders and... read more

So Ainsworth. , dull and stupid, stiff and inflexible, cannot lift up his heart, or find in his heart to obey the will of God: he refuseth to let the people go ; which was an instance and proof of the hardness and heaviness of his heart, on which the above miracle had made no impression, to regard what God by his ambassadors had required of him. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:3

I will harden Pharaoh's heart - I will permit his stubbornness and obstinacy still to remain, that I may have the greater opportunity to multiply my wonders in the land, that the Egyptians may know that I only am Jehovah, the self-existent God. See Clarke's note on Exodus 4:21 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:5

And bring out the children of Israel - Pharaoh's obstinacy was either caused or permitted in mercy to the Egyptians, that he and his magicians being suffered to oppose Moses and Aaron to the uttermost of their power, the Israelites might be brought out of Egypt in so signal a manner, in spite of all the opposition of the Egyptians, their king, and their gods, that Jehovah might appear to be All-mighty and All-sufficient. read more
