Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Exodus 11:1-10

## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Exodus 11:1-10

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read Exodus 11:1-10 through the lens of God's sovereign decree and his covenantal dealings with his people. This passage is a crucial moment in redemptive history, where God's sovereign plan to deliver Israel from bondage in Egypt anticipates the ultimate redemption through Christ. The hardening of Pharaoh's heart is a clear demonstration of divine sovereignty, illustrating that God's purposes in history are never thwarted by human resistance. This text underscores the covenant of grace, as God is about to fulfill his promise to Abraham by bringing his descendants out of Egypt to the Promised Land.
