Exodus 14:17

Context
14:17 And as for me, I am going to harden¹ the hearts of the Egyptians so that² they will come after them, that I may be honored³ because⁴ of Pharaoh and his army and his chariots and his horsemen.

¹tn הִנְנִי (hinni) before the participle gives it the force of a futur instans participle, meaning “I am about to harden” or “I am going to harden” their heart.

²tn The form again is the imperfect tense with vav (ו) to express the purpose or the result of the hardening. The repetition of the verb translated “come” is interesting: Moses is to divide the sea in order that the people may cross, but God will harden the Egyptians’ hearts in order that they may follow.

³tn For the comments on this verb see the discussion in v. 4. God would get glory by defeating Egypt.

⁴tn Or “I will get glory over.”
