Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - The people are many. This is added as an aggravation of the offence charged in the last verse. The people are numerous. Therefore the greater damage is done to the crown by putting a stop to their labours. With these words the first interview between the Israelite leaders and the Egyptian monarch ends. Moses and Aaron, we must suppose, retired discomfited from the royal presence. CHAPTER 5:6-9

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) And Pharaoh said.--Moses and Aaron having retired, re infecta, Pharaoh turns to the officers of his court and reproaches them with allowing the Hebrews to be idle. They have time to hold meetings (Exodus 4:30-31), and listen to inflammatory harangues, and depute leaders to make very inconvenient proposals--why are they not kept closer to their tasks? Some change of system is requisite.Make them rest.--Rather, "let them rest."
