Éxodo 12:31

Éxodo 12:31 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:31

And he called for Moses and Aaron by night
Not that Pharaoh went in person, but he sent his servants to call them; for they never saw his face more after he had drove them from his presence; but now was fulfilled what Moses told him, that his servants should come to him in a very suppliant manner, and entreat him and his people to get away in all haste, ( Exodus 10:28 Exodus 10:29 ) ( 11:8 ) . Where Moses and Aaron now were is not certain, probably in the city, or suburbs of it, where Pharaoh's palace was, for it is not likely that they were gone to Goshen:

and said, rise up;
from their beds in which they now were, being midnight:

and get ye forth from among my people, both ye and the children of
Israel;
even all of them, without any exception of women or children as before; and without limiting them to place or time, where they should go, and how long they should stay, and without obliging them to promise to return:

and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said;
as they had entreated they might, and as they had demanded in the name of the Lord that they should; to which now he gave his consent, though he afterwards repented of it.

Éxodo 12:31 In-Context

29 A medianoche el SEÑOR hirió de muerte a todos los primogénitos egipcios, desde el primogénito del faraón en el trono hasta el primogénito del preso en la cárcel, así como a las primeras crías de todo el ganado.

30 Todos en Egipto se levantaron esa noche, lo mismo el faraón que sus funcionarios, y hubo grandes lamentos en el país. No había una sola casa egipcia donde no hubiera algún muerto.

31 Esa misma noche mandó llamar el faraón a Moisés y a Aarón, y les ordenó: «¡Largo de aquí! ¡Aléjense de mi pueblo ustedes y los israelitas! ¡Vayan a adorar al SEÑOR, como lo han estado pidiendo!

32 Llévense también sus rebaños y sus ganados, como lo han pedido, ¡pero váyanse ya, que para mí será una bendición!»

33 El pueblo egipcio, por su parte, instaba a los israelitas a que abandonaran pronto el país. «De lo contrario —decían—, ¡podemos darnos por muertos!»
