Context of Exodus 10:28
26All our livestock must go with us. Not one animal must be left behind. We’ll have to use some of them for worshiping the Lord our God, and we won’t know what we’ll need until we get there.” 27But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, so he refused to let them go. Pharaoh said to Moses, “Get out of my sight! Don’t ever let me see your face again. The day I do, you will die.” 29“You’re right!” Moses answered. “You’ll never see my face again.”

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-29Verses 21-29 The plague of darkness brought upon Egypt was a dreadful plague. It was darkness which might be felt, so thick were the fogs.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2828. Pharaoh said, ... Get thee from me--The calm firmness of Moses provoked the tyrant. Frantic with disappointment and rage, with offended and desperate malice, he ordered him from his presence and forbade him ever to return.Read the comment
