SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:10
Y él les dijo: Así sea el SEÑOR con vosotros, como yo os dejare ir a vosotros y a vuestros niños: mirad la malicia que está delante de vuestro rostro.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:10
Verse 10. Let the Lord be so with you] This is an obscure sentence.Some suppose that Pharaoh meant it as a curse, as if he had said, "May your God be as surely with you, as I shall let you go!" For as he purposed not to permit them to go, so he wished them as much of the Divine help as they should have of his permission. Look-for evil is before you.] µkynp dgn h[r yk war reu ki raah neged peneychem, See ye that evil is before your faces - if you attempt to go, ye shall meet with the punishment ye deserve. Probably Pharaoh intended to insinuate that they had some sinister designs, and that they wished to go in a body that they might the better accomplish their purpose; but if they had no such designs they would be contented for the males to go, and leave their wives and children behind: for he well knew if the men went and left their families they would infallibly return, but that if he permitted them to take their families with them, they would undoubtedly make their escape; therefore he says, ver. 11, Go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The plagues of Egypt show the sinfulness of sin. They warn the children of men not to strive with their Maker. Pharaoh had pretended to humbl himself; but no account was made of it, for he was not sincere therein The plague of locusts is threatened. This should be much worse than an of that kind which had ever been known. Pharaoh's attendants persuad him to come to terms with Moses. Hereupon Pharaoh will allow the men to go, falsely pretending that this was all they desired. He swears tha they shall not remove their little ones. Satan does all he can to hinder those that serve God themselves, from bringing their children to serve him. He is a sworn enemy to early piety. Whatever would put u from engaging our children in God's service, we have reason to suspec Satan in it. Nor should the young forget that the Lord's counsel is Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth; but Satan's counsel is to keep children in a state of slavery to sin and to the world. Mar that the great foe of man wishes to retain him by the ties of affection, as Pharaoh would have taken hostages from the Israelites for their return, by holding their wives and children in captivity. Sata is willing to share our duty and our service with the Saviour, becaus the Saviour will not accept those terms.
