Exodus 7:3-5 ▼

3 But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.

4 Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces—my people, the Israelites—from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.

5 When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.”
