22. (18 in the Hebrew) b'kerev haiiretz (in the midst of the earth) is a remarkable expression, present government being there, and commanding all that is there, and note, this is not Israel. When evil comes from this, it is p'duth (redemption) for God's people, verse 23, margin.
32. Here again the active sense, with kaved, as before, Pharaoh did so, eth-libbo (his heart); in chapter 9: 7, kaved, the state was, remained hard, or obdurate; in verse 12, it is actively with khazak and eth and Jehovah; in verse 34, it is kaved, more active and positive I suppose than in verse 7; chapter 35 it is more general—the fact historically; in chapter 10:1 it is kaved with eth, Jehovah actively; and in verse 20 it is khazak, active, Jehovah hardened, with eth; so in verse 27, and so finally in chapter 11:10.
