Commentary on Exodus 14:8
The phrase 'the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh' reiterates divine sovereignty over the enemy's will. Egypt pursues 'the children of Israel' because 'the children of Israel went out with an high hand.' The expression 'ramah yad' (רָמָה יָד—high hand) means boldly, defiantly, openly. Israel's confident departure provoked Egypt's pride. God uses their bold freedom to bait the trap that will destroy Egypt's army.
