Exodus 12:31 meaning

The moment of urgency and profound change has arrived in Egypt, where Pharaoh’s pride has been utterly broken by divine judgment. Following the devastating death of the firstborn in Egypt, Pharaoh not only acknowledges Moses but urgently commands him to leave with the Israelites. This call to action marks a significant turning point, as the Israelites, once enslaved, are now empowered to leave the land that oppressed them. In this narrative, there is a deeper illustration of God’s sovereignty; the plagues serve both to deliver Israel and judge Egypt’s long-standing tyranny.
