When moshe asked paraoh once again to 'let my people go' why, after having gone through seven plagues already, did paraoh ask 'which ones are going'? מי ומי ההלכים?
Chabad.org brings the urin vetumim and says that the gematria of mi vmi haholchim = 216 which is the same number as כלב ובן נון. Paraoh asking 'which are going' was really saying that it is a waste of time for Moshe to be doing all of this to get Bnei Yiroel into the land of Israel because really the only ones who will survive are calev and ben nun (this is yehuda). Moshe responded and said "don't worry, also those younger than 20 and older than 60 will survive".
