Commentators explain that Pharaoh's question, "who are they that shall go?" was not a genuine inquiry but a strategic attempt to negotiate a compromise. He pretended to yield but was actually trying to retain control by only letting some of the Israelites go. This serves as a warning against half-hearted or insincere commitments to God, who demands full surrender, not a negotiated settlement.
