Uitgelegd voor kinderen
Imagine your teacher tells you to let your friends go play outside because it's good for them. But you keep saying no. That's kind of like what's happening here, but with a big king named Pharaoh who won't let the Hebrew people go worship their God.
Historische achtergrond
This verse is part of the Book of Exodus, written by Moses around 1446 BC. It was intended for the Israelites as a reminder of their deliverance from Egyptian slavery and the power of God's command.
