dolariFinally watching The Bible miniseries. It's actually really good. It does bring up something I'd always wondered about.
Moses demand to Pharaoh to let the Jews free is refused nine times. Each refusal brings on a plague. But the Bible says God himself "hardened Pharaoh's heart," forcing him to refuse Moses demand.
I've always wondered why it explicitly says God hardened his heart. If he didn't would Pharaoh have said yes? And does this mean the plagues could have been avoided had God not hardened his heart?
This has always confused me....
