let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more

on Exodus 8:29-30

Moses names the pattern to the king's face before it repeats, having watched the same promise made at verse 8 and withdrawn at verse 15. He then goes out and prays for him anyway, which is what he did at verse 12. The chapter records no answer from Pharaoh to the charge.

proposed

Pharaoh called for Moses, . . . Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land, &c.--Between impatient anxiety to be freed from this scourge and a reluctance on the part of the Hebrew bondsmen, the king followed the course of expediency; he proposed to let them free to engage in their religious rites within any part of the kingdom.
