Exodus 11:2

"The LORD said to Moses, “I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether."

Key Reflection

In these verses, the Lord emphasizes that His final judgment on Egypt through the death of the firstborn will be a decisive moment, after which Pharaoh's resistance will crumble, compelling him to fully release the Israelites without any further delay or partial compliance. This stark declaration underscores both God’s sovereignty and the inevitability of His people's deliverance.
