Define: 'Repent'
Both of the above sections are technically correct, though both make different assumptions about the word "repent."
"Repent" simply means to change one's mind or to change one's course of action. In the verses cited above, God chooses to change His course of action. In this case the word "repent" doesn't imply any sin.
The more common usage of the word "repent" in Christian circles refers to repentence of sin, which is dealt with in the first section.

It happened when Pharaoh sent the people out that gcd didn't lead them toward

reconsider the whole exodus when they see war, and they'll return to Egypt". So he
turned the people toward the way of the desert, toward the Sea of Reeds and the
Sinai Desert. Gcd went before them during the day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on
the way, and at night in a pillar of fire to give them light so that they could travel day
and night. He didn't remove the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from
before the people.

Who was probably the pharaoh when Moses had the Israelites released from slavery?
On the basis of accepting the biblical story as true, we can look at the Egyptian history of the time, to nominate a pharoah. The Bible clearly states that the Israelites were released from slavery around 1440 BCE. The pharaoh at that time was Tuthmosis III.
In spite of the timing in the Bible, Tuthmosis III could not have been the pharaoh at the time of the Exodus of the Israelites because the Amarna letters show that the Canaanite petty kings still ruled throughout Canaan, under the Egyptian overlords in the middle of the following century.
The Exodus story mentions some locations such as the city of Pi-Ramses, built by the important pharaoh Ramses II (1303-1213 BCE). This would mean that the pharaoh of the time was either Ramses II himself, or his successor, Merneptah. However, neither king could be the pharaoh who drowned in the Red Sea while pursuing the Israelites, as both were buried in the Valley of Kings.
Did Moses or Moses's brother aaron lead the Jews out of Egypt?
The Hebrew people who had been living there since the time of Joseph (the owner of the so-called "Technicolor Dreamcoat").
The Torah names two sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer (Exodus ch.18).
The character Moses who figures in the Bible was given an Egyptian name when he was discovered as a child in a basket among the reeds. The name he received was certainly not "Moses", but the name of an Egyptian god followed by the word ms, which means "born of". On its own it makes no sense, but in the form Thotmes, Amenemes or Rameses (for example) it makes perfect sense : born of Thoth, born of Amun, born of Ra.
The Bible story dropped the name of the Egyptian god, leaving just the ms element, which became Moshe in Hebrew, then Moses in English.
Moses was never a pharaoh, but there were pharaohs with the names mentioned above.
What did God command to Moses?
After Moses ha fled Egypt God came unto him in the form of a burning bush and told him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt due to the forced labor they underwent for Pharaoh. Moses protested saying he was not a great speaker so God allowed Aaron to speak for him. Moses appeared before he elders and turned his staff into a serpent so they would believe him. He then performed the miracle before Pharaoh but God had hardened his heart so he would not allow the Israelites to leave. After the the death of the first born son, with Passover for the Israelites, Pharaoh chased them out of Egypt. Moses then received the Ten Commandments and the miracle of manna.
Who is Moses in the Old Testament?
- Moses was a man in the Bible times that brought the Israelites out of Egypt. This was probably the time during one of the Ramesses.
- Some non-christian scholars and others, such as the referenced Robert G. Ingersol (1833-1899, Golden Age of Freethought) have debated if Moses was a historical figure or a myth.
- Moses was a direct participant in most of the events in and writer of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy in the Bible. Genesis, some of which was undoubtedly passed down to him in either written or oral form, was compiled and edited into its present form by him. Despite the greatness of his personal achievements and the great responsibility he undertook under trying conditions brought about primarily by the intransigence of the Israelites, Moses was described as an exceedingly humble person, although he did get a little cranky at times.
- The main character of the Jewish story of the flight from Egypt.
- Moses is absolutely central to Judaism. Moses spoke to God and followed his commands. He led the people out of Egypt and witnessed many miracles in the wilderness. Moses built the Ark of the Covenant as God commanded and received the ten commandments. Some say that there is no evidence that Moses ever existed.
- Jesus often referred to Moses as the Old Testament prophet, who led Israel out of Egypt (The Exodus). Speaking to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, Jesus said, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up (on the Cross), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:14,15. Throughout the entire New Testament, Moses is referred to as the prophet who led Isreal, received the commandments of God and wrote the five books of the Pentateuch (Torah).
- Moses was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. Pharaoh had decreed that Israelite boys be killed (Exodus ch.1), but the daughter of Pharaoh took pity on the infant Moses (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).
