Exodus 7:22

Context
7:22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same 1  by their secret arts, and so 2  Pharaoh’s heart remained hard, 3  and he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron 4  – just as the Lord had predicted.

1 tn Heb “thus, so.”

2 tn The vav consecutive on the preterite introduces the outcome or result of the matter – Pharaoh was hardened.

3 tn Heb “and the heart of Pharaoh became hard.” This phrase translates the Hebrew word חָזַק (khazaq; see S. R. Driver, Exodus, 53). In context this represents the continuation of a prior condition.

4 tn Heb “to them”; the referents (Moses and Aaron) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
