Expliqué aux enfants
Imagine if your friend did something amazing, like lifting a really heavy rock, and then you were worried that if something bad happened, people might forget about how strong your friend was. Moses is worried that if something bad happens to the Israelites, the Egyptians might forget how powerful God was when He brought them out of Egypt.
