...When the text says that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, it means that God would permit or allow Pharaoh’s heart to be hardened.

Ah yes, more of "when the Bible says... it really means..." apologetics. Always good fun. Even if true, it means the translators were inept which means that Yahweh allowed his Word to be mangled by incompetent humans. So much for omnipotence.

In all fairness, isn't it possible that an all powerful god would make sure his word was mangled as a test of human faith? Without a perfect degree of imperfection, god's word would draw to Him both the chaff and the wheat of humanity. Well played God.
