Wrong! Read it again!
Quote:Exodus 7 King James Version (KJV)
7 And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Your god was adamant that the plagues would ensue and having the Pharaoh give in was not part of the plan.

READ. IT. AGAIN.
