Pharaoh's Mouth Contradicts Itself in Midrash Shmuel

"Let arrogance come out of your mouth" (1 Samuel 2:3). Rabbi Yehoshua of Sikhnin, in the name of Rabbi Levi: your words contradict your words. Just as you say, "And he moved from there to the mountain" (Genesis 12:8) — the mouth that said, "Moreover, I will not let Israel go" (Exodus 5:2), is the mouth that said, "I will let you go (and your little ones)" (Exodus 8:24). The mouth that said, "Who is the LORD that I should heed His voice" (Exodus 5:2), is the mouth that said, "And Egypt said, 'Let me flee,' etc." (Exodus 14:25). The mouth that said, "I do not know the LORD" (Exodus 5:2), is the mouth that said, "The LORD is righteous, etc." (Exodus 9:27).
