Context of Exodus 7:5

3Yet I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay My hand upon Egypt, and bring forth My armies, My people Bnei-Yisrael, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. The Egyptians will know that I am Adonai, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt, and bring out Bnei-Yisrael from among them.” 6So Moses and Aaron did as Adonai commanded them. 7Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5And bring out the children of Israel - Pharaoh's obstinacy was either caused or permitted in mercy to the Egyptians, that he and his magicians being suffered to oppose Moses and Aaron to the uttermost of their power, the Israelites might be brought out of Egypt in so signal a manner, in spite of all the opposition of the Egyptians, their king, and their gods, that Jehovah might appear to be All-mighty and All-sufficient.Read the comment
