Exodus 11

I love how after all the times that it was Moses and Aaron who approached Pharaoh, and his rejecting their message, that in the end it was HE who sent his men to THEM to BEG them to leave.

I'm also pondering the statement about Pharaoh having been made "stubborn" by God, and whether or not that excluded him from having free will to make a conscious choice to "soften" himself and be responsive to God's message. Like for instance, God made me a pretty stubborn person, He wired that into my make up, but I often make conscious choices to not exercise my stubborness. In essence I guess my question is "could Pharoah have said yes?" I know it's a question that won't get an answer...
