Quote:the reason they "had" to die (Pharaoh refusing to release the Hebrews) was also caused by divine intervention (Exodus 9:12).
Don't forget that
Quote:27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to let them go.
-Ex 10
Pharaoh was apparently willing to let them go until 'god' stepped in with his heart-hardening routine.
If only he had stuck to only hardening dicks. How much better would history have been?
