(And we have come so that) you may send the Children of Israel with us [12]."
[12] After Allah Almighty accepted the request of Musa (peace be upon him) and assured him of protection from the aggressions of Pharaoh, He commanded both of them to go to Pharaoh and inform him that they are the messengers or envoys of the Lord of the worlds. If he denies, then they should show him two miracles as signs, and at the same time demand from him that he should free their nation, the Children of Israel, from his slavery and let them depart with them. Thus, both prophets submitted to this command of Allah, reached the court of Pharaoh, and conveyed to him exactly the message of Allah Almighty.
