Exodus 9:7
“Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.”
What does Exodus 9:7 mean?
When God brought plague after plague on Egypt, Pharaoh's own animals died while the Israelites' herds remained untouched, a clear sign of God's protection and power. Yet even witnessing this miraculous distinction, Pharaoh refused to see what was happening right in front of him. His stubbornness wasn't about lacking evidence, it was about refusing to surrender control and admit he was wrong. This moment captures how people can dismiss even overwhelming proof when they're determined to hold onto their own way, and it reminds us that seeing God's work isn't the same as submitting to it.
