Why does Pharaoh reject God's command?

Answered in 1 source

Pharaoh rejects God's command due to his arrogance and ignorance about God's sovereignty and power.

Pharaoh's rejection of God's command, 'Let my people go,' illustrates the human heart's natural resistance to divine authority. His response, questioning God's identity and asserting his own power, epitomizes the arrogance and ignorance of those outside of grace (Exodus 5:2). This refusal to acknowledge God's sovereignty leads Pharaoh to believe he can maintain control over the Israelites, reflecting the broader principle that many resist God's call due to pride or a misunderstanding of their own helplessness. The unfolding narrative reveals how God uses Pharaoh’s hardened heart to display His power and ensure that His name is proclaimed throughout the earth (Romans 9:17).
