Exodus 10:8-11

EXODUS—NOTE ON Exodus 10:8 Pharaoh listens to his servants (v. Exodus 10:7). For the first time he calls Moses and Aaron back before a plague begins. However, as before, Pharaoh responds to Moses’ answer with only partial obedience to the Lord’s command. Then he angrily sends them away.
