Summary

In Exodus 9:17, God declares His power and sovereignty over Pharaoh and the land of Egypt, demonstrating His authority through the plagues. This verse reveals God's purpose in allowing the plagues to occur, which is to show His unmatched power and to ultimately bring about the release of the Israelites from slavery. It underscores the divine judgment upon those who resist God's will and refuse to acknowledge His supremacy. Through these events, God's glory is magnified as He fulfills His promises and delivers His people from oppression.
