Moses, a Diplomatic Negotiator Ahead of His Time

Ask someone "What did Moses say to Pharaoh?" Most people answer "Let My people go/Shelach et ami !!" Then ask "Where did Moses ask Pharaoh to send them?" With that same assertion most respond "To the Land of Israel." However, Moses never requested that!

Rather, in their encounters Moses asks, quoting God, to "Let My people go so they may worship Me in the wilderness."
