And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also,.... As he did before, when he found the plague was removed, and the flies were gone:
neither would he let the people go; through pride and covetousness, being loath to have the number of those under his dominion so much diminished, and to lose so large a branch of his revenues arising from the labour of these people.

(31) There remained not one.—The sudden and entire removal of a plague like this at the word of Moses was almost as great a miracle as its sudden coming at his word, and is therefore, when it happened, carefully recorded. (See Exo_10:19.) It seems not to have happened with the frogs (Exo_8:11-13) or with the mosquitoes.
