The Nature of a Hardened Heart
Commentators explain that Pharaoh's 'hardened' (or 'heavy') heart wasn't just momentary anger, but a state of being dull, inflexible, and stubbornly resistant to God's will. John Calvin sees this as a powerful picture of human pride and rebellion when it is not submitted to God, serving as a warning to all believers against recklessly opposing Him.
