Pharaoh again entreats Moses, but yet is hardened So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. This phrase indicates a recurring pattern in the narrative of the plagues, where Moses and Aaron repeatedly confront Pharaoh. The act of being "brought back" suggests Pharaoh's continued resistance and the persistence of God's messengers. Historically, this reflects the Egyptian court's protocol, where only those summoned could approach the Pharaoh. Theologically, it underscores the theme of divine persistence and human obstinacy.

The courtiers "brought them again to Pharaoh." The courtiers, no doubt, supposed that the king would yield; and the king was prepared to yield to a certain extent. But he had conceived of a compromise in his own mind, and this he hoped to impose upon Moses; hence his insidious question-- Who are they that shall go?--Pharaoh had not hitherto raised this question. He had known well enough that the demand extended to all the people (Exodus 8:8); but now he pretends that there had been an ambiguity, and requires that it shall be cleared up. Moses gives him an answer (Exodus 10:9) which takes away all further pretence of doubt. Verse 8. - Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh. Pharaoh did not condescend so far as to send for them, but he allowed his courtiers to bring them to him. And he so far took the advice of his courtiers, that he began by a general permission to the Israelites to take their departure. This concession, however, he almost immediately retracted by a question, which implied that all were not to depart. Who are they that shall go? It seems somewhat strange that the king had not yet clearly understood what the demand made of him was. But perhaps he had not cared to know, since he had had no intention of granting it.Parallel Commentaries ...
