Context

The Fourth Plague: Flies

³⁰Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,³¹and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.³²But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.

Summary

In this verse, Pharaoh agrees to let the Israelites go and sacrifice to the Lord after Moses prays for the removal of the plague of flies. However, Pharaoh's heart hardens again after the flies are gone, and he does not keep his promise. This highlights the ongoing struggle between Pharaoh's pride and God's power, showcasing the consequences of disobedience and the importance of genuine repentance. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of stubbornness and the need for humility and obedience in the face of God's authority.
