شرح للأطفال
Imagine if your favorite toy broke, and you thought you'd never play with it again. But then, your parents fix it and give it back to you. However, it's not as fun as it used to be. This is like what God is saying about Egypt: He'll bring it back home, but it won't be as great as before.
