Context of Exodus 10:11

9Moses replied, “We will go with our young and with our old; we will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds because we must hold the Lord’s festival.” 10He said to them, “The Lord would have to be with you if I would ever let you and your families go! Look out — you’re heading for trouble. No, go — just able-bodied men — worship the Lord, since that’s what you want.” And they were driven from Pharaoh’s presence. 12The Lord then said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, and the locusts will come up over it and eat every plant in the land, everything that the hail left.” 13So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and through the night. By morning the east wind had brought in the locusts.
