Exodus 7:23

And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not pay any attention to this. ¹ 

Ex 9:21; De 32:46; 1Sa 4:20; Job 7:17; Ps 62:10; Pr 22:17; Pr 24:32; Pr 29:1; Isa 26:11; Jer 5:3; Jer 36:24; Eze 40:4; Am 4:7-12; Hab 1:5; Mal 2:2

¹ tn The text has וְלֹא־שָׁת לִבּוֹ גַּם־לָזֹאת (vÿlo’-shat libbo gam-lazo’t), which literally says, “and he did not set his heart also to this.” To “set the heart” to something would mean “to consider it.” This Hebrew idiom means that he did not pay attention to it, or take it to heart (cf. 2 Sam 13:20; Ps 48:13; 62:10; Prov 22:17; 24:32). Since Pharaoh had not been affected by this, he did not consider it or its implications further.
