The ordinance of the Passover Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the narrative of the Exodus. The Hebrew word for "summoned" (קָרָא, qara) implies an urgent call or demand. Pharaoh, who had previously hardened his heart against the Israelites, now acts with haste and desperation. The timing "by night" underscores the immediacy and gravity of the situation. Historically, this reflects the chaos and fear that gripped Egypt following the death of the firstborn, a divine judgment that finally broke Pharaoh's resistance. and said, 'Up, leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested (31) He called for Moses and Aaron.--This does not mean that Pharaoh summoned them to his presence, but only that he sent a message to them. (See above, Exodus 11:8.) The messengers were undoubtedly chief officials; they "bowed themselves down" before Moses, who was now recognised as "very great" (Exodus 11:3), and delivered their master's message, which granted in express terms all that Moses had ever demanded. Pharaoh's spirit was, for the time, thoroughly broken. Verses 31-36. - THE DISMISSAL The first action seems to have been taken by Pharaoh. The "cry" of the people had no doubt been heard in the palace, and he was aware that the blow had not fallen on himself alone, and may have anticipated what the people's feelings would be; but he did not wait for any direct pressure to be put upon him before yielding. He sent his chief officers (Exodus 11:8) while it was still night (Exodus 12:31), to inform Moses and Aaron, not only that they might, but that they must take their departure immediately, with all the people, and added that they might take with them their flocks and herds. The surrender was thus complete; and it was accompanied by a request which we should scarcely have expected. Pharaoh craved at the hands of the two brothers a blessing! We are not told how his request was received; but that it should have been made is a striking indication of how his pride was humbled. The overture from Pharaoh was followed rapidly by a popular movement, which was universal and irresistible. The Egyptians "rose up" everywhere, and "were urgent upon the people," to "send them out of the land in haste" (ver. 33); and to expedite their departure readily supplied them at their request with gold and silver and raiment (ver. 35), thus voluntarily spoiling themselves for the benefit of the foreigners. The Israelites, long previously prepared for the moment which had now arrived, made their final arrangements, and before the day was over a lengthy column was set in motion, and proceeded from Rameses, which seems to have been a suburb of Tunis (Brugsch, Hist. of Egypt, vol. 2. pp. 96-99), to an unknown place called Succoth, which must have lain towards the south-east, and was probably not very remote from the capital Verse 31. - And he called for Moses and Aaron. Kalisch understands this as a summons to the King's presence (Commentary, p. 130), and even supposes that the two brothers complied, notwithstanding what Moses had said (Exodus 10:29). But perhaps no more is meant than at Pharaoh's instance Moses and Aaron were summoned to an interview with some of the Court officials (see Exodus 11:8). As ye have said.
