Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
10:25-26 Moses was unrelenting. He knew that the Israelites, far from leaving any of their possessions behind, would be receiving gifts from the Egyptians, who would hurry them away (3:21-22). He also kept the focus on the worship of God. This continual refrain about the purpose for leaving Egypt (see study note on 8:26-27) reflects the key purpose of their exodus, to become the people of God.
