When I get home, in the mean time, what does hardening one's heart mean?

Why wait until you get home? I quoted chapter 7.

As for what does hardening a heart mean, it means disregarding God's instruction.

Does God have the sovereign choice? Or do we have the sovereign choice?

Simple yes or no question.

Did Pharoah have free will?

Romans 9

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

No one is denying that God further hardened Pharoahs heart. God knew that he would harden his own heart so God hardened it further. Would you agree that someone who chooses to disobey God hardens their heart? Did Pharoah choose to disobey God? Or did God make the choice for him?

It is easier to do that on a computer for me than a phone.

Are you of the opinion no one has a real choice in life?

As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."

God is sovereign, and He is quite capable of giving us choices, and holding us accountable for them. You think He is unable to do that?
