Exodus 10:24

EXODUS—NOTE ON Exodus 10:24 Pharaoh has offered to let the Israelites go and sacrifice “within the land” (Exodus 8:25), without “your little ones” (Exodus 10:9), and now without your flocks and your herds. Pharaoh is trying to keep some control over Israel by offering these compromises. He continues to ignore what the Lord has told him to do.
