And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
The Lord said - rather HAD said unto Moses. It may be inferred, therefore, that he had been apprised that the crisis was now arrived; that the next plague would so effectually humble and alarm the mind of Pharaoh that he would "thrust them out thence altogether;" and thus the word of Moses (Exodus 10:29) must be regarded as a prediction.
