SCRIPTURE

"Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Jehovah; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh`s presence." — Exodus 10:11 (ASV)

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

go now you [that are] men, and serve the Lord, for that you did desire ;
suggested 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.
