—Exodus 4:18-23
by: J. Gabriel Alegre.
In this passage of scripture we find Moses with a very clear and concise directive: return to Egypt, demonstrate wonders before Pharaoh, and ask for the people of Israel to be set free—otherwise God will take the life of Pharaoh’s firstborn. It is interesting to note that God himself will harden the heart of Pharaoh—a fact which God mentions to Moses, perhaps to let him know how things will progress and what he (Moses) can anticipate. The relationship between God and Moses was close enough for God to share his plan with Moses before it happened.
