✦ MADE SIMPLE

All these officials of yours will come to me and bow down before me, saying, 'Leave, you and all the people who follow you!' And after that happens, I will go. Then Moses left Pharaoh's presence in great anger.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Moses is telling Pharaoh that his own officials will eventually beg Moses and the Israelites to leave Egypt, and then Moses angrily walked away from the conversation.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs during Moses' final confrontation with Pharaoh before the tenth and most devastating plague - the death of the firstborn. Moses had repeatedly asked Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, but Pharaoh kept refusing despite witnessing nine miraculous plagues. This angry departure marks the end of negotiations between Moses and Pharaoh.
