Contextual Overview

21And YHWH says to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt." 22And Moses stretches out his hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [for] three days; 23they have not seen one another, and none has risen from his place [for] three days; but there has been light for all the sons of Israel in their dwellings. 24And Pharaoh calls to Moses and says, "Go, serve YHWH, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you"; 25and Moses says, "You also give sacrifices and burnt-offerings in our hand, and we have prepared for our God YHWH; 26and also our livestock go with us—there is not left a hoof, for we take from it to serve our God YHWH; and we do not know how we serve YHWH until our going there." 27And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not been willing to send them away;28and Pharaoh says to him, "Go from me, take heed to yourself, do not add to see my face, for in the day you see my face you die"; 29and Moses says, "You have spoken correctly, I do not add to see your face anymore."

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.
