Contextual Overview

²¹ Then the Lord told Moses, "Raise your hand toward the sky, and darkness will cover the land of Egypt. It will be so dark you will be able to feel it." ²² Moses raised his hand toward the sky, and total darkness was everywhere in Egypt for three days. ²³ No one could see anyone else, and no one could go anywhere for three days. But the Israelites had light where they lived. ²⁴ Again the king of Egypt called for Moses. He said, "All of you may go and worship the Lord . You may take your women and children with you, but you must leave your flocks and herds here." ²⁵ Moses said, "You must let us have animals to use as sacrifices and burnt offerings, because we have to offer them to the Lord our God. ²⁶ So we must take our animals with us; not a hoof will be left behind. We have to use some of the animals to worship the Lord our God. We won't know exactly what we will need to worship the Lord until we get there." ²⁷ But the Lord made the king stubborn again, so he refused to let them go. ²⁸ Then he told Moses, "Get out of here, and don't come again! The next time you see me, you will die." ²⁹ Then Moses told the king, "I'll do what you say. I will not come to see you again."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Pharaoh called unto Moses,.... After the three days, as the Targum of Jonathan, when the darkness was over, or at least much diminished, fearing that still worse evils would befall him:

and said, go ye, serve the Lord, only let your flocks and your herds be stayed; stopped or remained behind, as a pledge and security of their return; and these the rather he was desirous of retaining, because of the great loss of cattle he had sustained by the murrain and boils upon them, and by the hail: let your little ones also go with you; this he had refused before, but now consents to it, which he thought was doing them a great favour, and that upon such terms they might be content to go.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Your flocks and your herds - Pharaoh still exacts what would of course be a complete security for their return: but the demand was wholly incompatible with the object assigned for the journey into the wilderness.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 10:24. Only let your flocks and your herds be stayed — Pharaoh cannot get all he wishes; and as he sees it impossible to contend with Jehovah, he now consents to give up the Israelites, their wives and their children, provided he may keep their flocks and their herds. The cruelty of this demand is not more evident than its avarice. Had six hundred thousand men, besides women and children, gone three days' journey into the wilderness without their cattle, they must have inevitably perished, being without milk for their little ones, and animal food for their own sustenance, in a place where little as a substitute could possibly be found. It is evident from this that Pharaoh intended the total destruction of the whole Israelitish host.
