A similar structure (DBR + le + infinitive construct) seems to be in Ex
6:27: "they ... spoke to Pharaoh ... to bring out the children of Israel
from Egypt ...". Seeing the the focus is here on Mose and Aaron it is
perhaps more natural, to understand: Mose and Aaron spoke to Pharao with the
intention, that they (Mose and Aaron) may bring out the Israelites ... The
alternative is: Mose and Aaron spoke to Pharao, that he (Pharao) may bring
out the Israelites ...
