7794. 'Pharaoh will not hear you' means disobedience. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing' as obedience, dealt with in 2542, 3869, 4652-4660, 5017, 7216; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who have molested the upright in the next life, at this point these same molesters who are to be damned.

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
