On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

"I will have my will done," says God: "But I will do my own will," says the sinner. How resolutely he denies the demand: Neither will I let Israel go. Note, Of all sinners none are so obstinate, nor so hardly persuaded to leave their sin, as persecutors are.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord--rather "Jehovah." Lord was a common name applied to objects of worship; but Jehovah was a name he had never heard of. Pharaoh estimated the character and power of this God by the abject and miserable condition of the worshippers and concluded that He held as low a rank among the gods as His people did in the nation.
