Scripture focus

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

Hardly let us go. Literally, “when Pharaoh hardened himself [his heart] against sending us away.” The same word previously used for the hardening of the king’s heart appears here also (see on ch. 4:21).
