What Does Exodus 9:14 Mean?
The statement shifts from specific plagues to 'all my plagues'—the entire array of judgments coming upon Egypt. They will strike the king's heart (his will), his servants (his government), and his people (everyone). No one escapes.
The purpose is knowledge—that there is none like God in all the earth. This is not random destruction but designed revelation. Through the plagues, Pharaoh and Egypt will learn something true about God that cannot be learned any other way.
