Exodus 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 10:11

Not so
You shall not go with your children as you propose:

go now ye [that are] men, and serve the Lord, for that you did desire;
suggesting that that was all they first required, that their men should, go three days into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto the Lord; whereas the demand was, let my people go, ( Exodus 5:1 ) which were not the men only, but the women and children also, and all were concerned in the service of God, and in keeping a feast to him:

and they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence;
by some of his officers, according to his orders.

12 The LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over Egypt to bring locusts. They will invade Egypt and eat up every plant in the land--everything left by the hail."
