Shemot 10
וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמֶר לְכוּ עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה רַק צֹאנְכֶם וּבְקַרְכֶם יֻצָּג גַּֽם־טַפְּכֶם יֵלֵךְ עִמָּכֶֽם׃
Pharaoh called to Moshe, and he said, “Go! Worship Adonoy. Just let your sheep and cattle stay behind. Even your little ones can go with you.”
Pharaoh called to Moshe, and he said, “Go! Worship Adonoy. Just let your sheep and cattle stay behind. Even your little ones can go with you.”
Rashi
וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה גַּם־אַתָּה תִּתֵּן בְּיָדֵנוּ זְבָחִים וְעֹלֹת וְעָשִׂינוּ לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
Moshe said, “You too will give us sacrifices and burnt-offerings that we will make [offer] to our God.
Moshe said, “You too will give us sacrifices and burnt-offerings that we will make [offer] to our God.
Rashi
גם אתה תתן. לא דייך שמקננו ילך עמנו, אלא גם אתה תתן:
You too will give. It will not be sufficient for you that our cattle go with us but, rather, “you too” will give of yours.
וְגַם־מִקְנֵנוּ יֵלֵךְ עִמָּנוּ לֹא תִשָּׁאֵר פַּרְסָה כִּי מִמֶּנּוּ נִקַּח לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ לֹֽא־נֵדַע מַֽה־נַּעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָה עַד־בֹּאֵנוּ שָֽׁמָּה׃
Our own flocks will also go with us. Not a single hoof will remain. We must take from them to worship Adonoy our God; since we do not know with what [animals] we will worship Adonoy until we get there.”
Our own flocks will also go with us. Not a single hoof will remain. We must take from them to worship Adonoy our God; since we do not know with what [animals] we will worship Adonoy until we get there.”
Rashi
פרסה. פרסת רגל פלנט"א בלע"ז
Hoof. [פַּרְסָה means] the hoof of the foot, plante in Old French.
לא נדע מה נעבד. כמה תכבד העבודה, שמא ישאל יותר ממה שיש בידינו:
We do not know with what we will worship. [I.e.,] We do not know the magnitude of the service. “Perhaps He will ask of us more than we have in our possession.”
וַיְחַזֵּק יְהֹוָה אֶת־לֵב פַּרְעֹה וְלֹא אָבָה לְשַׁלְּחָֽם׃
Adonoy hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he was [no longer] willing to send them away.

וַיֹּֽאמֶר־לוֹ פַרְעֹה לֵךְ מֵעָלָי הִשָּׁמֶר לְךָ אַל־תֹּסֶף רְאוֹת פָּנַי כִּי בְּיוֹם רְאֹתְךָ פָנַי תָּמֽוּת׃

Moshe said, “As you say. I will not see your face again.”
Moshe said, “As you say. I will not see your face again.”
Rashi
כן דברת. יפה דברת ובזמנו, דברת אמת שלא אוסיף עוד ראות פניך (שמו"ר יד, ד):
As you say. [I.e.,] “You have spoken properly and you have spoken at the right time. It is true that I will never see your face again.”
Shemot 11
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה עוֹד נֶגַע אֶחָד אָבִיא עַל־פַּרְעֹה וְעַל־מִצְרַיִם אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵן יְשַׁלַּח אֶתְכֶם מִזֶּה כְּשַׁלְּחוֹ כָּלָה גָּרֵשׁ יְגָרֵשׁ אֶתְכֶם מִזֶּֽה׃
Adonoy said to Moshe, “There is one more plague that I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. After that he will send you away from here. When he sends you away, he will actually drive you out from here completely.
Adonoy said to Moshe, “There is one more plague that I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. After that he will send you away from here. When he sends you away, he will actually drive you out from here completely.
Rashi
כלה. גמירא, כלה כליל, כולכם ישלח:
Completely. [Onkelos translates כָּלָה as:] גְמִירָא — completely [having the same meaning as] כָּלִיל [Here, meaning] “He will send you all away.”
דַּבֶּר־נָא בְּאׇזְנֵי הָעָם וְיִשְׁאֲלוּ אִישׁ ׀ מֵאֵת רֵעֵהוּ וְאִשָּׁה מֵאֵת רְעוּתָהּ כְּלֵי־כֶסֶף וּכְלֵי זָהָֽב׃
Speak, please, in the ears of the people, and let each man request [borrow] from his friend, and each woman from her friend, articles of silver and articles of gold.”
Speak, please, in the ears of the people, and let each man request [borrow] from his friend, and each woman from her friend, articles of silver and articles of gold.”
Rashi
דבר נא. אין נא אלא לשון בקשה, בבקשה ממך הזהירם על כך, שלא יאמר אותו צדיק אברהם, ועבדום וענו אותם קיים בהם, ואחרי כן יצאו ברכוש גדול לא קיים בהם (ברכות ט.):
Speak, please נָא can only indicate pleading. [i.e.,] “I ask of you, speak to them about this, so that that righteous person, Avraham, may not say, [The promise of] ‘They will enslave them and oppress them’ He fulfilled in them, [but the promise:] ‘And afterwards they will leave with great wealth,’ He did not fulfill in them.”
וַיִּתֵּן יְהֹוָה אֶת־חֵן הָעָם בְּעֵינֵי מִצְרָיִם גַּם ׀ הָאִישׁ מֹשֶׁה גָּדוֹל מְאֹד בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בְּעֵינֵי עַבְדֵֽי־פַרְעֹה וּבְעֵינֵי הָעָֽם׃ {ס}
Adonoy gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moshe too was very great in the land of Egypt, [both] in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people.
