In Hebrew, the word for "officials" is "עֲבָדֶיךָ" (avadekha), which can also mean servants or ministers. Historically, these officials were powerful figures in Egyptian society, often seen as intermediaries between Pharaoh and the people. Their eventual submission to Moses signifies a dramatic reversal of power, highlighting God's sovereignty over earthly authorities.will come and bow before me The act of bowing is a sign of submission and respect. In Hebrew, "bow" is "וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ" (vehishtachavu), which implies a deep, reverential prostration. This gesture from the Egyptian officials towards Moses, a Hebrew, underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to elevate His people and humble their oppressors. It is a powerful image of divine justice and the ultimate triumph of God's will.saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!&#8217 This command for Moses and the Israelites to leave Egypt is a pivotal moment in the Exodus narrative. The Hebrew word for "go" is "צֵא" (tze), a direct and urgent imperative. It signifies not just a physical departure but a spiritual liberation from bondage. The phrase "all the people who follow you" emphasizes the collective deliverance of the Israelites, fulfilling God's covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.After that, I will depart.&#8221 Moses' declaration of his departure signifies the end of his negotiations with Pharaoh. The Hebrew word for "depart" is "יֵצֵא" (yetze), which can also mean to go out or exit. This marks the conclusion of Moses' role as an intermediary in Pharaoh's court and the beginning of the Israelites' journey to freedom. It is a moment of transition from oppression to the promise of a new life.And hot with anger, he left Pharaoh’s presence Moses' anger is described with the Hebrew word "בְּחָרִי־אָף" (bechari-af), literally "burning of the nose," a vivid expression of intense wrath. This righteous anger reflects Moses' frustration with Pharaoh's hardened heart and the suffering of his people. It is a reminder of the emotional and spiritual toll of leadership and the deep passion required to confront injustice. Moses' departure from Pharaoh's presence signifies a final break with the oppressive regime, setting the stage for God's ultimate deliverance of His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) All these thy servants--i.e., the high officers of the Court who were standing about Pharaoh. These grandees would come to Moses when the blow fell, and prostrate themselves before him as if he were their king, and beseech him to take his departure with all his nation. The details are given more fully and more graphically in this place than in the subsequent narrative (<a href="/exodus/12-31.htm" title="And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.">Exodus 12:31</a>).In a great anger.--Heb., in heat of anger: i.e., burning with indignation. Moses had not shown this in his speech, which had been calm and dignified; but he here records what he had felt. For once his acquired "meekness" failed, and the hot natural temper of his youth blazed up. His life had been threatened--he had been ignominiously dismissed--he had been deprived of his right of audience for the future (<a href="/exodus/10-28.htm" title="And Pharaoh said to him, Get you from me, take heed to yourself, see my face no more; for in that day you see my face you shall die.">Exodus 10:28</a>).

Literally, "in heat of anger." The abrupt dismissal (<a href="/exodus/10-28.htm">Exodus 10:28</a>), the threat against his life (ibid.) and the announcement that no more interviews would be granted him moved the indignation of Moses, who was not conscious to himself of having done anything to deserve such treatment.
