Berean Study Bible

For this time
This phrase indicates a pivotal moment in the narrative of the plagues. The Hebrew word for "time" (פַּעַם, pa'am) suggests a specific, divinely appointed occasion. It underscores the gravity and uniqueness of this particular plague, marking it as a significant escalation in God's dealings with Pharaoh and Egypt.

I will send
The Hebrew verb שָׁלַח (shalach) conveys the idea of dispatching or releasing. Here, it emphasizes God's active role in orchestrating the events. This is not a passive occurrence but a deliberate act of divine will, demonstrating God's sovereignty over creation and history.

all My plagues
The term "plagues" (מַגֵּפָה, maggephah) refers to a series of divine judgments. The use of "all" suggests a comprehensive and overwhelming display of God's power. Historically, these plagues were not random but targeted the gods of Egypt, systematically dismantling the Egyptians' religious and cultural confidence.

against your heart
The Hebrew word for "heart" (לֵב, lev) often represents the inner self, including will, emotions, and intellect. God's targeting of Pharaoh's heart signifies a direct challenge to his pride and stubbornness. It is a call to repentance and recognition of God's supremacy.

and against your officials and your people
This phrase extends the impact of the plagues beyond Pharaoh to his entire administration and nation. The officials (עֲבָדֶיךָ, avadekha) and people (עַמְּךָ, ammekha) are implicated in Pharaoh's defiance, highlighting the communal nature of sin and judgment. It also reflects the widespread consequences of leadership decisions.

so that you may know
The purpose clause here is crucial. The Hebrew verb יָדַע (yada) means to know intimately or experientially. God's intention is not merely punitive but revelatory. He desires Pharaoh and Egypt to come to an understanding of His nature and authority.

that there is no one like Me
This declaration of God's uniqueness (אֵין כָּמוֹנִי, ein kamoni) is a central theme in the Bible. It affirms the monotheistic belief in Yahweh's unparalleled power and character. In the context of ancient Egypt, with its pantheon of gods, this statement is a direct affront to their religious system.

in all the earth
The scope of God's declaration extends beyond Egypt to the entire world (בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ, bechol-ha'aretz). It emphasizes the universal sovereignty of God, not limited to a single nation or people. This global perspective foreshadows the biblical narrative of God's plan for all humanity.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(14) I will . . . send all my plagues upon thine heart.--The naturally obdurate heart of Pharaoh, which he had further indurated by his own voluntary action (Exodus 8:15; Exodus 8:32), and which God had begun to harden penally (Exodus 9:12), was now to be softened by a repetition of blow after blow, until it should finally succumb, and yield, and humble itself under the mighty hand of God, and consent to the departure of the whole people, with flocks, and herds, and "little ones."

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 14. - I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart. A very emphatic announcement. At this time contrasts the immediate future with the past, and tells Pharaoh that the hour of mild warnings and slight plagues is gone by. Now he is to expect something far more terrible God will send all his plagues - every worst form of evil - in rapid succession; and will send them against his heart. Each will strike a blow on that perverse and obdurate heart - each will stir his nature to its inmost depths. Conscience will wake up and insist on being heard. All the numerous brood of selfish fears and alarms will bestir themselves. He will tremble, and be amazed and perplexed. He will forego his pride and humble himself, and beg the Israelites to be gone, and even intreat that, ere they depart, the leaders whom he has so long opposed, will give him their blessing (Exodus 12:32). That thou mayest know. Pharaoh was himself to be convinced that the Lord God of Israel was, at any rate, the greatest of all gods. He was not likely to desert at once and altogether the religion in which he had been brought up, or to regard its gods as nonexistent. But he might be persuaded of one thing - that Jehovah was far above them. And this he practically acknowledges in vers. 27 and 28.
