Quick answer

Pharaoh says 'tomorrow,' and Moses agrees so Pharaoh will know none is like Yahweh. The aim is the knowledge of God's incomparable uniqueness.

Overview

Pharaoh names the next day, and Moses consents so that the precise timing will prove 'there is no one like Yahweh our God.' The whole exchange serves to reveal God's unmatched supremacy over Egypt's gods and powers. This declaration of God's incomparability echoes throughout Scripture and finds its fullest expression in the exalted name of Jesus, before whom every other power must yield.

Christ at the center

The Passover lamb whose blood turns away death, the exodus through the sea, the manna, the rock, and the tabernacle where God dwells with his people all foreshadow Jesus — our Passover, our redemption, the bread from heaven, and God-with-us in the flesh.
