7792. Verses 9, 10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh will not heara you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. And Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh; and Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart unyielding, and he did not send the children of Israel away from his land.
'And Jehovah said to Moses' means an informing. 'Pharaoh will not hear you' means disobedience. 'So that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt' means in order that they may receive corroboration that they have had no faith but are ruled by evil. 'And Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh' means that these stages of vastation, and the consequent corroborations that they are ruled by evil, were brought about by the truth emanating from God. 'And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart unyielding' means that they remained obstinate. 'And he did not send the children of Israel away from his land' means that they did not leave those who belonged to the spiritual Church.
