21 And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the ^smiracles that I have put in your power. But ^tI will harden his heart, so that ^uhe will not let the people go.

The Eighth Plague: Locusts

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for ^jI have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these ^ksigns of mine among them,

4 And I will ^kharden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, and ^lI will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and ^mthe Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen.

20 For it was the Lord’s doing to ⁿharden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, ^ojust as the Lord commanded Moses.
