True Fear vs. Terror
Commentators highlight a crucial distinction in this verse. Pharaoh's confession stemmed from a temporary 'dread of punishment,' not the 'true fear of God.' Scholars like John Calvin explain that true fear is a reverential obedience that 'binds us to God' and is the beginning of wisdom. It's a change of heart, not just a reaction to frightening circumstances.
