The Hebrew root for "brought back" (שׁוּב, shuv) often implies a return or a turning back, suggesting that Moses and Aaron were repeatedly summoned by Pharaoh, highlighting the persistent struggle between divine command and human obstinacy. Historically, this reflects the ongoing tension between the Israelites and their Egyptian oppressors, a theme that resonates throughout the Exodus narrative. Go, worship the LORD your God he said But who exactly will be going? 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 ...
