Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
In context
19Yahweh had said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all those who sought your life have died.” 20So Moses took his wife and his sons, set them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt, carrying the staff of God in his hand. 21Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go. 22Then you will say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what Yahweh says: Israel is my son, my firstborn, 23and I told you: Let my son go, that he may serve me. But you refused to let him go — so now I will kill your son, your firstborn.’”
