It does not say and god said I will harden pharaoh's heart because you Jews have been misbehaving. You do see the difference. One is a metaphor, the other a promise of punishment.
We could discuss the Jewish view of heaven all day, but fact remains that according to the Bible, god punished a man by killing a child.
I do see that one was a promise of punishment, but that doesn't have any effect on whether one is a metaphor or not. They're both examples of God using the actions of evil men for his purposes.
if the paraoh did a good act and let the gods chosen people be free they would have no need for god. ergo god harden the pharaohs heart.
