I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires … for he is a liar and the father of lies.”SLIDE 6 – “In this dramatic evolution of Pharoah’s reactions there is a consistency of principle – the core of his intransigence – namely the maintenance of his sovereignty. That is the crux of the matter; that is what cannot coexist with God’s authority … under pressure it will show flexibility and accommodation, even … confessing guilt and making concessions. But after all its retreats … it [still] clings to independence. And it resists … unto death.” – Moshe Greenberg
