This moment marked a significant turning point in the long and arduous journey towards freedom for the Israelites. It was a moment of great significance as it signaled the beginning of the end of their oppression in Egypt. The verse captures the decisive moment when Pharaoh's resolve crumbled, and the Israelites were finally granted permission to leave their enslavement and begin their journey towards the Promised Land.
