Commentary on Exodus 14:5

The report to Pharaoh 'that the people fled' triggers regret. The question 'Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?' reveals the economic motive behind slavery—losing workforce, not concern for Israel's welfare. The phrase 'Pharaoh and his servants' indicates both king and court reversed position. Hardened hearts forget terror quickly when inconvenience arises. This illustrates human tendency to prioritize comfort over righteousness.
