Interesting that I was listening to this passage this morning...
The Word of Promise® NKJV Audio Bible
Exodus 6:1-3
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the LORD.
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD [YHVH] I was not known to them.
The “type” of Pharaoh is invoked as an example of someone with a hard, impenetrable heart. To begin with he chose to harden his heart, and eventually having chose many times to do so, YHVH “strengthened” him in the decision of hardness he had been continually making.
Please don’t be like Pharaoh
