What does Exodus 11:10 mean?
This summarizes the story of the plagues brought against Egypt. God provided Moses and Aaron with miraculous signs (Exodus 4:1–9) and sent nine supernatural disasters to prove their message (Exodus 7:21; 8:6, 17, 24; 9:6, 10, 24; 10:14, 23). They commanded Egypt's Pharaoh, the king, to free the Israelites (Exodus 5:1; 7:16; 8:1, 21; 9:1, 13; 10:3). He repeatedly refused (Exodus 5:2; 7:14, 22; 8:15, 19, 32; 9:7, 34) and lied (Exodus 8:15, 31–32; 9:34–35; 10:19–20) in defiance of the Lord.Eventually, that obstinance (Exodus 8:15, 19, 32; 9:7) took Pharaoh past a point of no return. God is open to everyone who calls out to Him in sincere faith (Psalm 14:2; John 6:37; Galatians 3:28). That includes even those Egyptians who believed the signs and went with Israel when they were freed (Exodus 12:38, 43, 48). But eventually, the time to repent ran out, and God began to use Pharaoh as an illustration of divine judgment (Exodus 10:1, 20, 27; 14:8).
In the end, these terrible events would inspire Egypt to demand the Israelites leave (Exodus 12:30–33). They will even give their former slaves treasures, showing their willingness to see the carnage end (Exodus 3:21–22; 12:35–36). What comes next in the book of Exodus is a description of the final plague, the establishment of a new calendar, and the liberation of the Israelites.
