Transliteration:( An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel )
"That you send the children of Israel with us [23]."
This verse presents the core demand of Musa and Haroon (عليهما السلام) to Pharaoh: to release Bani Isra’il from bondage and allow them to leave Egypt. They had been enslaved and oppressed for generations under Pharaoh’s rule.
By saying “with us”, the Prophets make it clear that they are not only delivering a message but also acting as leaders and liberators of their people, under Allah’s command. This demand for freedom marks the beginning of a divine confrontation between truth and tyranny.

Please refer to Surah Shura ayat 10 which provides the complete commentary from verse 10 through 22.
(26:17) that you let the Children of Israel go with us.'”[13]
13. The mission of the Prophets Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them) was twofold: First, to invite Pharaoh to the worship and obedience of Allah which has been the foremost aim of the mission of every Prophet, and secondly, to liberate the Israelites from the bondage of Pharaoh, which was specifically assigned to them. The Quran has mentioned sometimes only the first part of their mission – as in Surah An-Naziat – and sometimes only the second.
