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.

3 ^vBut ^wI will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my ^xsigns and ^ywonders in the land of Egypt, 4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my ^zhosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of ^ajudgment.

13 Still ^fPharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, ^gas the Lord had said.

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. 23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart.

15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he ^xhardened his heart and would not listen to them, ^yas 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.

30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord. 31 And the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained. 32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and ^mdid not let the people go.

27 Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “This time ^dI have sinned; ^ethe Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 ^fPlead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.” 29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that ^gthe earth is the Lord’s. 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.” 31 (The flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud. 32 But the wheat and the emmer¹ were not struck down, for they are late in coming up.) 33 So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured upon the earth. 34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and ^hhardened his heart, he and his servants. 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.

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, 2 and that ^lyou may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done among them, that you may know that I am the Lord.”

16 Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned ^uagainst the Lord your God, and against you. 17 ^vNow therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and ^wplead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me.” 18 So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt. 20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and ^xhe did not let the people of Israel go.

24 Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord; your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.” 25 But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. 26 Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the Lord our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.” 27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go. 28 Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.”
