Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - I am sure. Literally, "I know," a better rendering, since, "I am sure" implies something leas than knowledge. No, not by a mighty hand. Or "not even by a mighty hand." Pharaoh will not be willing to let you go even when my mighty hand is laid upon him. (See Exodus 8:15, 19, 32; Exodus 9:12, 35; Exodus 10:20, 27.) "But by strong hand" (marg.) is a rendering which the rules of grammar do not permit.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) I am sure.--Heb., I know, which is more suitable, since it is God who speaks, and to Him the future is known with as absolute a certainty as the past.No, not by a mighty hand.--Rather, not even under a mighty hand (ne quidem valida manu castigatus, Rosenmller). Pharaoh, even when chastised by My mighty hand, will not voluntarily permit of your departure (see Exodus 14:5-23).
