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.
