(February 6, 2013 at 3:11 pm)John V Wrote: That and the other plagues that came after it says that god hardened pharaoh's heart.

Looking at it from the ancient Israelites' point of view. They had stories about all the devastation caused by the Santorini eruption and these got mixed up with stories about the Hyksos leaving Egypt. They would have wondered why the Pharoah didn't let the Israelites in their Exodus story go when the first plague struck so the only explanation they could come up with was that God must have hardened the Pharoah's heart. It's would be a case of putting two and two together and making five.
