Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!"

The Rage of a Hardened Heart

Commentators describe Pharaoh's death threat as a "rude, fierce" and "foolish" outburst. This rage wasn't a sign of strength but of desperation and what John Calvin calls a "reprobate mind." After nine plagues, his continued defiance and contempt for God's word culminated in this irrational fury, showing how sin can lead a person to self-destructive anger rather than repentance.
