# Do you not yet realize that Egypt is destroyed?

Pharaoh's servants ask this question to bring Pharaoh to recognize what he refuses to see. This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "You should realize that Egypt is destroyed!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# that Egypt is destroyed
