Daily Zohar 4088
Hebrew translation:
139. וַיְצַו עָלָיו פַּרְעֹה אֲנָשִׁים, לָמָּה? כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִקְרַב אָדָם לָהֶם לְהָרַע לָהֶם. וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֹתוֹ, לְוָיָה עָשׂוּ לוֹ בְּכָל אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם. אָמַר לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: כָּךְ אַתָּה עָתִיד לַעֲשׂוֹת לְבָנָיו, אַתָּה תְלַוֶּה אוֹתָם מֵאַרְצְךָ, שֶׁכָּתוּב (שמות יג) וַיְהִי בְשַׁלַּח פַּרְעֹה אֶת הָעָם, שֶׁלִּוָּה אוֹתָם מִכָּל אַרְצוֹ.

Zohar Lech Lacha
Continued from previous DZ
#138
Rabbi Yitzchak said. After all, it is written, “because of Sarai, Abram’s wife” (Genesis 12:17) because that’s what the angels were saying. The Holy One, Blessed be He, did not speak with Pharaoh as he spoke with Abimelech. These words were spoken to him by the striking angels and nothing more. Then he knew that she was Abram’s wife. Immediately Pharaoh called Abram (Genesis 12:18).

Genesis 12:20
“וַיְצַו עָלָיו פַּרְעֹה אֲנָשִׁים וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֹתוֹ וְאֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת כָּל אֲשֶׁר לוֹ.”
“So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him (Abram); and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.”
He asks why he did do that and answers so that no one comes near to harm them. “And they sent him away,” that is, they accompanied him in all the land of Egypt.
The Holy one, Blessed be He said to Pharaoh, this is what you will do to his sons, you will follow them from your land, as it is written, “and it was when Pharaoh sent the people” (Genesis 13:17).
Pharaoh accompanied them from all his land.
