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

The sovereign choice to do what?
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?
Originally posted by @eladarNo 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?
No

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