these nine plagues
This means: ‘these nine disasters that God had caused.’
Since Pharaoh would not listen, God planned to send one last plague. This would change Pharaoh’s mind.
The connecting word Since connects the action (God sending one last plague), with the reason (Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites go free). (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result)
Since Pharaoh would not listen
This could be translated as: “Since Pharaoh would not do what God was telling him to do” or “Since Pharaoh refused to obey God.”
This would change Pharaoh’s mind
Another way to say this would be: “This last plague would cause Pharaoh to change how he thought about God and, as a result, he would let the Israelites go free.”
