Exodus 10:28 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 10:28

And Pharaoh said unto him
To Moses: get thee from me;
be gone from my presence, I have nothing more to say to thee, or do with thee: take heed to thyself;
lest mischief befall thee from me, or those about me: see my face no more;
neither here nor elsewhere: for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die;
this was a foolish as well as a wicked speech, when he lay at the mercy of Moses, rather than Moses at his; he being made a god unto him, and had such power to inflict plagues upon him, of which he had had repeated instances.
