Moses continues to reason with God not to destroy Israel.

# Why should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out ... to destroy them from the face of the earth?'

Moses used this question to try to persuade God not to destroy his people. This rhetorical question can be translated with a statement. Alternate translation: If you destroy your people, the Egyptians might say, 'He led them out ... to destroy them from the face of the earth.' (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
