The Sin of Arrogant Pride
Commentators emphasize that the phrase 'exalt thyself' points to the core of Pharaoh's sin: arrogant pride. He wasn't just disagreeing with Moses; he was insolently elevating himself against God's chosen people, which was an act of rebellion against God Himself. One scholar notes the Hebrew can even imply 'trampling' on the people, highlighting the oppressive nature of his pride.
