Commentary on Exodus 8:15

Theological / Devotional

When Pharaoh saw. As soon as respite was given, Pharaoh’s rebellious spirit again gained the upper hand. Believing the recent danger past and no doubt speculating lightheartedly that further visitations need not be expected, he broke his word. He was set on despising “the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God” was intended to lead him “to repentance.” By the “hardness” of his “impenitent heart” he was treasuring up unto himself “wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God” (Romans 2:4, 5).

As the Lord had said. See on Exodus 3:19; cf. Exodus 4:21 ; 7:4.
