The Pharaoh in the Exodus story is never named - he is simply referred to as "Pharaoh".
Moses is the figure who asked the Pharaoh of Egypt to free the Israelites from slavery, as described in the biblical Book of Exodus. He was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of bondage and confront Pharaoh, demanding their liberation. Despite multiple requests and demonstrations of divine power, Pharaoh repeatedly refused until a series of plagues ultimately compelled him to let the Israelites go.
the Pharaoh set the Israelites free because his first and only son died ( he died in the tenth plague he was very upset.
In the biblical story, God used a series of plagues to demonstrate his power and persuade the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. After witnessing the devastating plagues firsthand, the Pharaoh eventually relented and allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt.

Egypt's Pharaoh, Ramses II, was very stubborn and harsh at times. God sent the ten plagues because Pharaoh would not let God's people go, the Israelites. Pharaoh wanted them to continue as slaves, and when Moses asked him to let God's people go, Ramses refused, saying I am god! ( Egyptian pharaohs at the time believed they were sons of Ra, the Egyptian sun god.) Since God was mindful of His covenant (promise, agreement) with Abraham and Sarah (He promised them many descendants, as countless as the stars, and a great land), God sent the plagues in order for Egypt's pharaoh to believe and let God's people go. God didn't prefer to do this, but it was the only way to get Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free, to the promised land.
