| Pharaoh called for Moses, . . . Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land, &c.--Between impatient anxiety to be freed from this scourge and a reluctance on the part of the Hebrew bondsmen, the king followed the course of expediency; he proposed to let them free to engage in their religious rites within any part of the kingdom. But true to his instructions, Moses would accede to no such arrangement; he stated a most valid reason to show the danger of it, and the king having yielded so far as to allow them a brief holiday across the border, annexed to this concession a request that Moses would entreat with Jehovah for the removal of the plague. He promised to do so, and it was removed the following day. But no sooner was the pressure over than the spirit of Pharaoh, like a bent bow, sprang back to its wonted obduracy, and, regardless of his promise, he refused to let the people depart. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
To your God - Pharaoh now admits the existence and power of the God whom he had professed not to know; but, as Moses is careful to record, he recognizes Him only as the national Deity of the Israelites.
In the land - i. e. in Egypt, not beyond the frontier. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
in the land
The compromises proposed by Pharaoh are those urged upon Christians today. The first says in effect: "Be a Christian if you will, but not a 'narrow' one -- stay in Egypt." Invariably it ends in world-conformity, world-pleasing, and seeking the world's money for God (Psa 50:9-17) (Cf); (Co2 6:14-18); (Gal 1:4). |

| Sacrifice to your God in the land - That is, Ye shall not leave Egypt, but I shall cause your worship to be tolerated here. |
4 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] for [5228] our [2257] sins [266], that [3704] he might deliver [1807] us [2248] from [1537] this present [1764] evil [4190] world [165], according [2596] to the will [2307] of God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962]:
14 Be ye [1096] not [3361] unequally yoked together [2086] with unbelievers [571]: for [1063] what [5101] fellowship [3352] hath righteousness [1343] with [2532] unrighteousness [458]? and [1161] what [5101] communion [2842] hath light [5457] with [4314] darkness [4655]?
15 And [1161] what [5101] concord [4857] hath Christ [5547] with [4314] Belial [955]? or [2228] what [5101] part [3310] hath he that believeth [4103] with [3326] an infidel [571]?
16 And [1161] what [5101] agreement [4783] hath the temple [3485] of God [2316] with [3326] idols [1497]? for [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] the temple [3485] of the living [2198] God [2316]; as [2531] God [2316] hath said [2036], [3754] I will dwell [1774] in [1722] them [846], and [2532] walk in [1704] them; and [2532] I will be [2071] their [846] God [2316], and [2532] they [846] shall be [2071] my [3427] people [2992].
17 Wherefore [1352] come out [1831] from [1537] among [3319] them [846], and [2532] be ye separate [873], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], and [2532] touch [680] not [3361] the unclean [169] thing; and [2504] I will receive [1523] you [5209],
18 And [2532] will be [2071] [1519] a Father [3962] unto you [5213], and [2532] ye [5210] shall be [2071] my [3427] sons [5207] [1519] and [2532] daughters [2364], saith [3004] the Lord [2962] Almighty [3841].
9 I will take [03947] no bullock [06499] out of thy house [01004], nor he goats [06260] out of thy folds [04356].
10 For every beast [02416] of the forest [03293] is mine, and the cattle [0929] upon a thousand [0505] hills [02042].
11 I know [03045] all the fowls [05775] of the mountains [02022]: and the wild beasts [02123] of the field [07704] are mine [05978].
12 If I were hungry [07456], I would not tell [0559] thee: for the world [08398] is mine, and the fulness [04393] thereof.
13 Will I eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of bulls [047], or drink [08354] the blood [01818] of goats [06260]?
14 Offer [02076] unto God [0430] thanksgiving [08426]; and pay [07999] thy vows [05088] unto the most High [05945]:
15 And call [07121] upon me in the day [03117] of trouble [06869]: I will deliver [02502] thee, and thou shalt glorify [03513] me.
16 But unto the wicked [07563] God [0430] saith [0559], What hast thou to do to declare [05608] my statutes [02706], or that thou shouldest take [05375] my covenant [01285] in thy mouth [06310]?
17 Seeing thou hatest [08130] instruction [04148], and castest [07993] my words [01697] behind [0310] thee.
