"Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

Verse Takeaways

An Escalated Demand

Commentators observe a significant escalation in God's command. The initial request was for a temporary, three-day journey into the wilderness. Now, after Pharaoh's refusal, the demand is for a complete and permanent departure from the land of Egypt. This shift illustrates a divine principle: refusing a lighter instruction can lead to a more serious and demanding consequence.
