And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, 'This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go so they can worship me.'
God is asking Pharaoh through Moses and Aaron how long he will continue to stubbornly resist God's authority and refuse to free the Israelites.
📚 Historical Context
This confrontation occurs during the ten plagues that God sent upon Egypt to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. By this point, Egypt had already suffered through seven devastating plagues, yet Pharaoh continued to harden his heart and refuse God's demands. Moses and Aaron repeatedly returned to Pharaoh as God's messengers, each time giving him another opportunity to repent and obey.
