It shall not be so. but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao's presence.

One Church Father comments on this verse
“Expelled.” Despite his trepidation, Pharaoh could not contain his fury, which was heightened by his helplessness and the skepticism that Monceus and Aaron began to show towards him. After issuing his directive, he forced them to leave, believing that this partial decision had successfully postponed the inevitable outcome.
