Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 
Exodus 20:3

"--we find that the Apis bull was dedicated to Ptah, the father of all the
gods, 
--the cow was sacred to Hathor, one of the most widely worshiped of all female deities of the Nile country, 
--while the ram represented several gods like Khnemu, and the ram-headed Amen, who was Egypt's chief god in the New Empire period. 
 
Hence, the disease which slew the animals dedicated to their deities revealed to the Egyptians the impotence of their gods in the presence of the God of the despised Hebrews."

How did the "Lord Harden" Pharaoh's heart?

And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus 7:13

"God sheds light upon the souls of men, he grants them
opportunities and privileges, and if these are not improved, if the precious moments of probation are neglected, the measure of the light given will be the measure of the guilt incurred through this inexcusable neglect of the gifts of God.

The Savior said, "If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" (Matt.6:23).

We are told that the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart.

---The repeated refusals of the king to hear the word of the Lord, called forth more direct, more urgent and forcible messages.
---At each rejection of light, the Lord manifested a more marked display of his power; but the king's obstinacy increased with every new evidence of the power and majesty of the God of heaven,
---until the last arrow of mercy was exhausted from the divine quiver.

Then the man was utterly hardened by his own persistent resistance.
Pharaoh sowed obstinacy,
and he reaped a harvest of the same in his character.
 
The Lord could do nothing more to convince him, for he was barricaded in obstinacy and prejudice, where the Holy Spirit could not find access to his heart.
Pharaoh was given up to his own unbelief and hardness of heart.
 
Infidelity produced infidelity.

When Pharaoh hardened his heart on the first exhibition of God's power, he made himself more capable of a second rejection of God's power.
Pride and stubbornness held him in bondage, and hindered him from acknowledging the warnings of God."

Real Lesson of the Journey to Canaan

"We shall be saved eternally when we enter in through the gates into the city. Then we may rejoice that we are saved, eternally saved.

But until then we need to heed the injunction of the apostle, and to “fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of us should seem to come short of it” (Hebrews 4:1).

Having a knowledge of Canaan,
singing the songs of Canaan,
rejoicing in the prospect of entering into Canaan,
did not bring the children of Israel into the vineyards and olive groves of the Promised Land.

They could make it theirs in truth only
by occupation,
by complying with the conditions,
by exercising living faith in God,
by appropriating His promises to themselves...."

PSALM 114: Psalm of the Exodus

Psalm 114:
 When Israel went out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
vs.1

"A highly poetic description of the Exodus, this psalm emphasizes both God’s power displayed and His provision supplied.

 
I.          God Inhabits Israel (114:1-2).
When Israel went out of Egypt, vs.1
II.         God Intimidates Nature (114:3-6).
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? vs.5
III.       God Invites Trembling (114:7-8).
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,.. vs.7
 
There is no sea, no Jordan, so deep, so broad, but, when God's time is come, it shall be divided and driven back."
 
The mountains skipped like rams,
 and the little hills like lambs.
vs.4
