⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Moses is telling Pharaoh that this is their final meeting - he will never come before the Egyptian king again.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs after nine devastating plagues have struck Egypt, with Pharaoh repeatedly refusing to let the Israelites go free. Pharaoh has just angrily told Moses to leave and never return, threatening Moses with death if he sees him again. Moses accepts this ultimatum, knowing that the final, most terrible plague - the death of the firstborn - will soon force Pharaoh's hand.
