(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Mosheh hardened heart_of Parˊoh's refuses to,let_go the,people )
Now Yahweh speaks of Pharaoh’s stubborn attitude as if Pharaoh’s heart were heavy. If the heart is not the body part your culture uses to refer to a person’s will, consider using whichever organ your culture would use for this image. This is a neutral statement (it does not say that anyone caused him to be stubborn as many others in this part of the narrative do). See how you translated this in Exodus 7:13, but note the slightly different metaphor there: the heart being strong vs heavy here. Alternate translation: [Pharaoh is defiant]
