Why was Pharaoh not willing to release the Israelites?

Why was Pharaoh not willing to release the Israelites?

Answers

Martin
- God had already told Moses that Pharaoh would remain adamant till several tenifying events would force him to release the Israelites.

- The Israelites provided cheap labour and, to Pharaoh, releasing them would mean that a new source of labour had to be sought.

- His being hesitant created room for God's work and power to be realized by everybody.

- Pharaoh was generally arrogant and stubborn and could not be easily lured by anybody.

- Pharaoh considered the Israelites and their possessions as part of his empire. If at all he could release them, he saw as if he would be parting with his wealth.

- Pharaoh tailed to understand that he was dealing with Yahweh: the true God, otherwise, he could have immediately released them
