After Pharaoh freed the Israelites, they were pursued by the Egyptians, who sought to recapture them as they left Egypt. The Egyptians, led by Pharaoh, caught up to the Israelites at the Red Sea, where they were ultimately defeated when Moses parted the waters, allowing the Israelites to escape and the Egyptian army to be drowned. Thus, it was the Egyptians who first attempted to recapture the Israelites after their liberation.

What was pharaohs reaction to moses when he said to let your people go?

The first five times, Pharaoh hardened his heart of his own free will and said No to Moses. The next five times, God hardened Pharaoh's heart and forced him to say No to Moses. Then, after the killing of the first born, Pharaoh said Yes to Moses. Then God hardened Pharaoh's heart and Pharaoh chased after Moses and Pharaoh found himself either in the Sea of Reeds or at the edge of the Sea of Reeds watching his soldiers drown and Moses and the freed people on the other side getting away. The reason God hardened Pharaoh's heart and took away his free will, was to teach him a lesson about being a tyrant and throwing all those male slave children into the Nile River to drown.

Who freed the Israelites from Assyrian captivity?

The Israelites were never freed from Assyrian captivity. They adapted their religious beliefs to those of their captors and gradually blended into the culture that surrounded them, losing their ethnic identity. Their modern-day descendants are probably among the Iraqis, Syrians and other Middle Eastern peoples. The Judahites, former inhabitants of Judah, were freed from Chaldean (Babylonian) captivity by King Cyrus of Persia, and allowed to return to Judah.
