Context of Exodus 10:6
4If you refuse to let my people go, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country. 5They will cover the land so that the ground can’t be seen. They will eat everything left by the hail, including every tree still standing in the fields. They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and those of all the Egyptians. Your parents and ancestors never saw anything like this from the time they first came here until now.” Moses turned and left Pharaoh. 7Then Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man hold us in his grip? Let the Israelite men go to worship the Lord their God. When will you realize that Egypt is ruined?” 8So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the Lord your God,” he said to them. “But exactly who will be going?”
