Notes

Exodus 12:31–33

The same Pharaoh who had said that Moses would never again see his face and live (see 10:28) now asked for Moses to come and see him. Just as God had predicted, Pharaoh then ordered the Israelites to leave his land. He implicitly recognized the Lord’s power as he asked Moses to bless him. He never formally admitted that the Lord is God and that he, Pharaoh, was not.

Exodus 12:31–14:31

The Lord delivered on his promises and rescued Israel, bringing them out of Egypt.
