Exodus 11:1

Exodus 11:1. And the Lord said unto Moses— This would be rendered much more properly, now the Lord had said unto Moses: for it is evident, that the fourth verse is a continuation of Moses's conference with Pharaoh, mentioned in the last chapter; where, having said, I will see thy face again no more, Exo 10:29 it is here added, Exo 11:8 and he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. The first three verses, therefore, should be read as in a parenthesis, as well as in the past tense; as, what is mentioned in the second verse, had been revealed to Moses in the very first vision he had at Horeb. See ch. Exodus 3:20; Exo 3:22 and Exodus 4:23.
