Did God take away Pharaoh’s free will? Dennis Prager explores one of the most challenging passages in Exodus, where God says He will harden Pharaoh’s heart. Does this mean Pharaoh was no longer free to choose, or is there another way to understand the text?
Dennis also examines the mysterious encounter between God and Moses, the significance of circumcision in Jewish identity, and why God refers to Israel as His “firstborn.” Through these difficult passages, he considers the relationship between divine purpose, human freedom, and the meaning of faith.
