{{heb|על מה פרעה מדבר? הוא מפחד שהזרים ימרדו בו ויתווספו לאויביו. למה ימרדו? עדיין הנם בני-חורים ולא עבדים! המצב שלהם היה טוב מאד, ולא הייתה להם שום סיבה למרוד. ועוד הוא אומר "ועלה מן הארץ". היית חושב שאילו היו מורדים בו, היה שמח שילכו להם!}}

{{heb|נתחיל מהסוף: הוא יודע שבגלל בני ישראל, מצריים לא רק שרדה אחר הרעב הגדול שבימי יוסף, אלא פרחה העצמה מאד. היא הייתה אחת המעצמות הגדולות שבעולם. אולי, הוא חושש, שמא ילכו בני ישראל ומצריים תאבד את גדולתה ועוצמתה. לכן הוא לא רוצה שבני ישראל יעזבו את מצריים. }}

{{heb|ולכן הוא "מתחכם" להם, ולאט לאט הופכם לעבדים. כדי שלא יהיה להם חופש לבחור לעצמם מקום מגורים אחר. הוא משתיל בעמו פחד ושנאה כלפי הישראלים, כדי שיהיה להם קל לחשבם לעבדים ולא לאזרחים. ואז הוא מעבידם בפרך: '''וְאֵיזוֹ הִיא עֲבוֹדַת פֶּרֶךְ--זוֹ עֲבוֹדָה שְׁאֵין לָהּ קִצְבָה, אוֹ עֲבוֹדָה שְׁאֵינוּ צָרִיךְ לָהּ, אֵלָא תִּהְיֶה מַחְשַׁבְתּוֹ לְהַעֲבִידוֹ בִּלְבָד, שֶׁלֹּא יִבָּטֵל''' {{hcite|i/c501n.htm#8|הל' עבדים א:ח}}. להעסיק את כל מחשבותיו וכוחותיו כדי שלא יהיה להם שום כוח למרוד.}}

{{heb|פרעה היה התעמלן הראשון. הוא יצא בקרב תקשורתי נגד עם חף מפשע, כדי להשיג את מטרותיו. ובגלל הדרך האכזרי בה הוא פעל, קיבל את העונש שקיבל. ועל זה נדבר ב"ה בהמשך.}}

{{pasuq|come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land|p/pt/pt0201.htm#10|Ex 1:10}}

What is Pharaoh talking about? He is afraid that the foreigners will rebel against him and join his enemies. Why should they rebel? They were still free and not slaves! Their situation was very good, and they had no reason at all to rebel. He further says, "and get them up out of the land". One would have thought that if they rebelled against him, he would be happy to see them leave!

Let's begin at the end: he knows that because of the Children of Israel, Egypt not only survived the great famine of Joseph's time, but prospered and became a very great power. Egypt was one of the greatest powers in the world. Perhaps, he thinks, that if the Israelites leave Egypt, she will lose all her glory and power. Therefore he does not want them to leave Egypt.

Therefore he "deals wisely" with them, and slowly but surely changes them into slaves, in order that they not have any freedom to choose another dwelling place. He implants in his people a fear and hatred towards the Israelites, in order that they find it easy to think of them as slaves and not citizens. And then he made them labor ''befarech'': '''what kind of work is ''parech''? It is that kind of work which is never-ending, or work which is unnecessary -- rather the point of it is just to make him work, so he is not idle'''{{hcite|i/c501n.htm#8|Laws of Slaves 1:8}}. The purpose was to keep their thoughts and all their strength busy so they would not have the strength to rebel.

Pharaoh was the first propagandist. He waged a media battle against an innocent people, in order to achieve his goals. Because of the cruel manner in which he worked, he received the punishment he received, and God willing I will talk about this later on.

 And therefore our tiny people grabs so much attention in the "news".  There is hardly a place in the world where they have not heard of us -- whether for good or for evil.  By means of Him, may He be blessed, taking one nation from the midst of another nation, a people was created which influenced and continues to influence the entire world.
