Exodus 7:4 has bothered many people for a long time. Pharaoh refuses to listen and so God brings judgment on all of Egypt. How is it just to punish an entire nation for one man's decision? I brought the question to Dr. Charlie Trimm, who teaches Old Testament at Talbot and is currently writing a commentary on Exodus.
