Contextual Overview

21 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heauen, that there may be darkenesse ouer the land of Egypt, euen darkenes which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched foorth his hand toward heauen: and there was a thicke darkenesse in all the land of Egypt three dayes. 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three dayes: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. 24 And Pharaoh called vnto Moses, and said, Goe ye, serue the Lord: onely let your flockes and your herds be stayed: let your litle ones also goe with you. 25 And Moses saide, Thou must giue vs also sacrifices, and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice vnto the Lord our God. 26 Our cattell also shall goe with vs: there shall not an hoofe bee left behind: for thereof must we take to serue the Lord our God: and we knowe not with what wee must serue the Lord, vntill we come thither. 27 But the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, and he would not let them goe. 28 And Pharaoh said vnto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thy selfe: see my face no more: for in that day thou seest my face, thou shalt die. 29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face againe no more.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart,.... Yet more and more:

and he would not let them go; his heart was set against it, his will was resolute, and he was determined never to let them go.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 10:27. The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart — He had yet another miracle to work for the complete conviction of the Egyptians and triumph of his people; and till that was wrought he permitted the natural obstinacy of Pharaoh's haughty heart to have its full sway, after each resistance of the gracious influence which was intended to soften and bring him to repentance.
