PROPHETS nabiy = איבנ Hebrew for prophet, from naba = עכנ Hebrew for bubbling, gushing forth, overflow.

MY BEST RESPONSE Is it ever okay to yell at God? Why or why not? 9/26/2020 15

MOSES the PROPHET CEXODUS 3 & 4 CGOD reminds Moses who He is CGOD reminds Moses that He knows what they are suffering CYHWH Redemptive God CPHAROAH…who was evil, was allowed to become even more wicked so that God’s plan was fulfilled 9/26/2020 16

MOSES the PROPHET CEXODUS 3 & 4 Nine times in Exodus the hardening of the pharaoh’s heart is ascribed to God (4: 21; 7: 3; 9: 12; 10: 1, 20, 27; 11: 10; 14: 4, 8); another nine times the pharaoh is said to have hardened his own heart (7: 13 -14, 22; 8: 15, 19, 32; 9: 7, 34 -35). By using Romans 1: 24 -25, we can understand that the pharaoh alone was the agent of the hardening in each of the first five plagues. Not until the sixth plague did God confirm the pharaoh’s willful action (9: 12), as He had told Moses he would do (see Romans 9: 17 -18 et al for further clarification). 9/26/2020 Notes from Concordia Self-Study Bible, New International Version, Robert 17 G.
