Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Exodus 9:13-35

## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Exodus 9:13-35

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read Exodus 9:13-35 as an integral part of the unfolding redemptive history, where God's sovereign power is displayed through the plagues as He hardens Pharaoh's heart for His own glory. This passage is not merely about God's judgments on Egypt but is a profound revelation of His covenantal faithfulness to Israel, prefiguring the ultimate deliverance through Christ. The hardening of Pharaoh’s heart underscores God's sovereign decree and serves as a reminder that salvation is monergistic, dependent solely on God's effectual calling and not human will.
