Gill's Notes on the Bible
And afterwards Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,.... Whose name, some say, was Cenchres, others Amenophis, according to Manetho and Chaeremon h; :- went into Pharaoh's palace, and being introduced by the proper officer at court for that purpose, addressed him in the following manner:
thus saith the Lord God of Israel: as ambassadors of him, who is King of kings, and Lord of lords; and so Artapanus i, the Heathen, says that the Egyptian king, hearing that Moses was come, sent for him to know wherefore he was come, who told him, that the Lord of the world commanded him to let the Jews go, as it follows here:
let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness; in the wilderness of Sinai or Arabia, at Horeb there, where they might keep it more freely and safely, without being disturbed by the Egyptians, and without giving any offence to them; and the demand is just; they were the people of God, and therefore he claims them, and service from them was due to him; and Pharaoh had no right to detain them, and what is required was but their reasonable service they owed to their God. This feast was to be held, not for themselves, but to God, which chiefly consisted in offering sacrifice, as is after explained; the entire dismission of them is not at once demanded, only to go a little while into the wilderness, and keep a feast there to the Lord; though it was not intended they should return, but it was put in this form to try Pharaoh, and that he might be the more inexcusable in refusing to grant what was so reasonable.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Pharaoh - This king, probably Tothmosis II, the great grandson of Aahmes Exodus 1:8, the original persecutor of the Israelites, must have been resident at this time in a city, probably Tanis Exodus 2:5, of Lower Egypt, situated on the Nile.
The Lord God - Yahweh God of Israel demanded the services of His people. The demand, according to the general views of the pagans, was just and natural; the Israelites could not offer the necessary sacrifices in the presence of Egyptians.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER V
Moses and Aaron open their commission to Pharaoh, 1.
He insultingly asks who Jehovah is, in whose name they require him
to dismiss the people, 2.
They explain, 3.
He charges them with making the people disaffected, 4, 5;
and commands the task-masters to increase their work, and lessen
their means of performing it, 6-9.
The task-masters do as commanded, and refuse to give the people
straw to assist them in making brick, and yet require the fulfilment
of their daily tasks as formerly, when furnished with all the
necessary means, 10-13.
The Israelites failing to produce the ordinary quantity of brick,
their own officers, set over them by the task-masters, are cruelly
insulted and beaten, 14.
The officers complain to Pharaoh, 15, 16;
but find no redress, 17, 18.
The officers, finding their case desperate, bitterly reproach Moses
and Aaron for bringing them into their present circumstances, 19-21.
Moses retires, and lays the matter before the Lord, and pleads
with him, 22, 23.
NOTES ON CHAP. V
Verse Exodus 5:1. And afterward Moses and Aaron went — This chapter is properly a continuation of the preceding, as the succeeding is a continuation of this; and to preserve the connection of the facts they should be read together.
How simply, and yet with what authority, does Moses deliver his message to the Egyptian king! Thus saith JEHOVAH, GOD of ISRAEL, Let my people go. It is well in this, as in almost every other case where ×××× Jehovah occurs, to preserve the original word: our using the word LORD is not sufficiently expressive, and often leaves the sense indistinct.
