And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
And the LORD said to Moses, 'Get up early in the morning and go stand before Pharaoh. Tell him: This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so they can worship me.'
God is instructing Moses to confront Pharaoh once again with the same demand - release the Israelites so they can worship God freely.
