In the example you used, God strengthened the conviction that was already in Pharaoh. Symbolically, 'Pharaoh' stands for the part of self that rules over factual knowledge. Meaning when we hold too fast to facts stored in memory, and see only what is directly in front of us, we miss out on things of deeper importance.
