And the Lord said unto Moses, go in unto Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, etc.] Or, as some render it, “though I have hardened his heart” f265; or otherwise it would seem rather to be a reason he should not go, than why he should; at least it would be discouraging, and he might object to what purpose should he go, it would be in vain, no end would be answered by it; though there was an end God had in view, and which was answered by hardening his heart, and the heart of his servants; whose hearts also were hardened until now; until the plague of the locusts was threatened, and then they relent; which end was as follows: that I might shew these my signs before him; which had been shown already, and others that were to be done, (see <020703>Exodus 7:3) or in the midst of him f266, in the midst of his land, or in his heart, (see <020914>Exodus 9:14).
