| Exodus 7:3
| But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
| I shall harden, etc.; not by being the efficient cause of his hardness of heart, but by permitting it; and by withdrawing grace from him, in punishment of his malice; which alone was the proper cause of his being hardened. (Challoner) --- He took occasion even from the miracles to become more obdurate. (Haydock) --- Yet Pharao was less impious than Calvin, for he takes the sin to himself, Exodus 9:27. (Tirinus)
