Freewill and the Hardening of Pharaoh's Heart (part 2)
Abarbanel: Pharaoh was prevented from repenting because he went too far - he was supposed to enslave Bnei Yisrael, not kill their children. What was the original plan according to the Abarbanel (had Pharaoh not gone too far)? Hashem hardened Sichon's heart so that he wouldn't let Bnei Yisrael pass through his land. Why did Hashem prevent him from doing what should have been the right thing?
