'Hardly' in the Bible

and it happened, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of animal. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die.
