Exodus 10:7
Compare all
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the earth; and athey shall eat the residue of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.  
6 They shall afill your houses, the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians—which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.  
7 Then Pharaoh’s aservants said to him, “How long shall this man be ba snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”  
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. Who are the ones that are going?”
9 And Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for awe must hold a feast to the Lord.”  
10 Then he said to them, “The Lord had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you.
11 Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven aout from Pharaoh’s presence.  
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and beat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”

Exodus 10:7

How long shall this man be a snare unto us? - As there is no noun in the text, the pronoun zeh may either refer to the Israelites, to the plague by which they were then afflicted, or to Moses and Aaron, the instruments used by the Most High in their chastisement. The Vulgate translates, Usquequo patiemur hoc scandalum ? "How long shall we suffer this scandal or reproach?"

Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God - Much of the energy of several passages is lost in translating Yehovah by the term Lord. The Egyptians had their gods, and they supposed that the Hebrews had a god like unto their own; that this Jehovah required their services, and would continue to afflict Egypt till his people were permitted to worship him in his own way.

Egypt is destroyed? - This last plague had nearly ruined the whole land.
