While the Israelites were still in Egypt, Jehovah sent Moses to Pharaoh and said: “Go in to Pharaoh, because I ​ — I have let his heart and the hearts of his servants become unresponsive, in order that I may set these signs of mine right before him, and in order that you may declare in the ears of your son and your son’s son how severely I have dealt with Egypt and my signs that I have established among them; and you will certainly know that I am Jehovah. ”
Kad izraēlieši vēl bija Ēģiptē, Jehova sūtīja Mozu pie faraona un teica: ” Ej pie faraona, jo Es esmu apcietinājis viņa sirdi un viņa kalpu sirdis, lai parādītu šīs savas zīmes viņu vidū un lai jūs, jūsu bērniem un bērnu bērniem dzirdot, stāstītu, kādus varenus darbus Es Ēģiptē esmu darījis un kādas zīmes Es tur esmu cēlis viņu vidū, lai viņi zinātu, ka Es esmu tas Kungs. ” ( 2. Mozus 10: 1, 2.)
