Contextual Overview
21 The Lord said to Moses, "Stretch your arm toward the sky, and everything will be covered with darkness thick enough to touch." 22 Moses stretched his arm toward the sky, and Egypt was covered with darkness for three days. 23 During that time, the Egyptians could not see each other or leave their homes, but there was light where the Israelites lived. 24 The king sent for Moses and told him, "Go worship the Lord ! And take your families with you. Just leave your sheep, goats, and cattle." 25 "No!" Moses replied. "You must let us offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, 26 and we won't know which animals we will need until we get there. That's why we can't leave even one of them here." 27 This time the Lord made the king so stubborn 28 that he said to Moses, "Get out and stay out! If you ever come back, you're dead!" 29 "Have it your way," Moses answered. "You won't see me again."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Pharaoh called unto Moses,.... After the three days, as the Targum of Jonathan, when the darkness was over, or at least much diminished, fearing that still worse evils would befall him:
and said, go ye, serve the Lord, only let your flocks and your herds be stayed; stopped or remained behind, as a pledge and security of their return; and these the rather he was desirous of retaining, because of the great loss of cattle he had sustained by the murrain and boils upon them, and by the hail: let your little ones also go with you; this he had refused before, but now consents to it, which he thought was doing them a great favour, and that upon such terms they might be content to go.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Your flocks and your herds - Pharaoh still exacts what would of course be a complete security for their return: but the demand was wholly incompatible with the object assigned for the journey into the wilderness.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 10:24. Only let your flocks and your herds be stayed — Pharaoh cannot get all he wishes; and as he sees it impossible to contend with Jehovah, he now consents to give up the Israelites, their wives and their children, provided he may keep their flocks and their herds. The cruelty of this demand is not more evident than its avarice. Had six hundred thousand men, besides women and children, gone three days' journey into the wilderness without their cattle, they must have inevitably perished, being without milk for their little ones, and animal food for their own sustenance, in a place where little as a substitute could possibly be found. It is evident from this that Pharaoh intended the total destruction of the whole Israelitish host.
