Êxodo 10:10 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 10:10

And he said unto them, let the Lord be so with you, as I will
let you go, and your little ones
Either as mocking them, let the Lord you talk of be with you if he will, and let him deliver you if he can, as I shall let you go with your children, which I never will; or as wishing them ill, that the Lord their God may be with them, as he should dismiss them on their proposal, that is, not at all; he wishes they might never have the presence of the Lord, or receive any from him, till he should dismiss them, which he was determined never to do in the manner they desired; and therefore the sum of his wish or imprecation is, that they might never enjoy any benefits from the Lord; the first sense seems to be best:

look to it, for evil is before you;
which is either a charge of sin upon them, that they had an evil design upon him, and intended to raise a mutiny, make an insurrection, and form a rebellion against him; or a threatening to inflict the evil of punishment upon them, if they would not comply with his terms; and it is as if he should say, be it at your peril if you offer to go away in any other manner than it is my pleasure.

Êxodo 10:10 In-Context

8 Então Moisés e Arão foram trazidos de volta à presença do faraó, que lhes disse: “Vão e prestem culto ao SENHOR, o seu Deus. Mas, digam-me, quem irá?”

9 Moisés respondeu: “Temos que levar todos: os jovens e os velhos, os nossos filhos e as nossas filhas, as nossas ovelhas e os nossos bois, porque vamos celebrar uma festa ao SENHOR”.

10 Disse-lhes o faraó: “Vocês vão mesmo precisar do SENHOR quando eu deixá-los ir com as mulheres e crianças! É claro que vocês estão com más intenções.

11 De forma alguma! Só os homens podem ir prestar culto ao SENHOR, como vocês têm pedido”. E Moisés e Arão foram expulsos da presença do faraó.

12 Mas o SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Estenda a mão sobre o Egito para que os gafanhotos venham sobre a terra e devorem toda a vegetação, tudo o que foi deixado pelo granizo”.
