✦ MADE SIMPLE

So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, 'Go ahead and worship the LORD your God. But tell me, who exactly will be going?'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Pharaoh is finally agreeing to let the Israelites worship God, but he's trying to negotiate the terms by asking who can go.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs during the plague of locusts, the eighth plague God sent on Egypt. Pharaoh's officials had been pressuring him to let the Israelites go because the plagues were destroying Egypt. This represents Pharaoh's attempt to compromise - allowing worship while maintaining control over who could participate.
