2 But Pharʹaoh said: “Who is Jehovah,+ so that I should obey* his voice to send Israel away?+ I do not know Jehovah at all+ and, what is more, I am not going to send Israel away.”+

4 And Pharʹaoh will not listen to YOU men;+ and I shall have to lay my hand upon Egypt and bring my armies,+ my people,+ the sons of Israel,+ out from the land of Egypt with great judgments.+

8 Thus Jehovah* let the heart of Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt become obstinate,+ and he went chasing after the sons of Israel, while the sons of Israel were going out with uplifted hand.+

17 For the Scripture says to Pharʹaoh: “For this very cause I have let you remain,* that in connection with you I may show my power, and that my name may be declared in all the earth.”+
