14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened; ^hhe refuses to let the people go.

22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So Pharaoh’s heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, ^oas the Lord had said.

19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is ^bthe finger of God.” But ^cPharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, ^das the Lord had said.

7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But ^qthe heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and ^rhe did not let the people go.

35 So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people of Israel go, ⁱjust as the Lord had spoken through Moses.
