STEG ON PARSHAS SHEMOS

Steg shriebt:
"What was the Pharoah at the beginning of Shemot/Exodus so afraid of, that made him declare 'open season' on Israelite baby boys? Let's look at his own words: 'Hey, the Nation of the Israelite People is greater and more powerful than us! C'mon, let's be wise to them -- lest they get more numerous and it may be that war will be called against us, and they too, will become added onto our haters, and they will fight us, and ascend from the land.'
The end of Par‘o's unwanted scenario is that Beney Yisra’eil will fight against Egypt, ועלה מן הארץ, "and ascend from the land".

What does that mean?"
