Indurate
Indurate means to make hard; harden, as rock, tissue, etc.: Cold indurates the soil.
Most translations read that God indurates Pharoah's heart in the Book of Exodus, explaining his obstinance in the face of Moses' pleas. (Exodus 4:21, 7:3, 7:13, 7:22, 8:15, 9:7, 9:12, 9:34, 9:35, 10:1, 10:20, 10:27, 11:10, 14:4, 14:8, 14:17) The Hebrew chazaq (often translated "harden") has as its primary meaning "to strengthen".
The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. (Exodus 4:21, NASB)
