<HTML>Regarding "vayyehezak" and "vayyikhbad" lev Par`oh - the two verbs have
very different meanings. "Vayyehezak libo" indicates that his will was
strengthened, that is, that he mustered (or was given) the fortitude to
stand by his refusal to let the Jews go despite the consequences.
"Vayyikhbad libo" indicates that his heart grew heavy, a colloquialism
still used today to indicate a change of heart (no pun intended), or
regretting a prior decision.
