Exodus 7:2 Summary
This verse is telling us that Moses has a very important job - to speak God's words to Pharaoh, and that his brother Aaron will be the one to actually talk to Pharaoh. Moses is to say exactly what God tells him to say, and Aaron is to pass on that message to Pharaoh, which is to let the Israelites go free (as seen in Exodus 6:6-8). This is part of God's bigger plan to save His people, as He promised to Abraham in Genesis 15:13-14, and it shows us that God is a God who keeps His promises and is powerful enough to overcome any obstacle. By trusting and obeying God, we can see His power and glory in our own lives, just like Moses and Aaron did.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Moses to speak all that God commands him?
This means that Moses is to be a faithful messenger of God's words, speaking exactly what God tells him to say, as seen in Exodus 4:12 where God promises to be with Moses' mouth and teach him what to say.
Why is Aaron involved in speaking to Pharaoh?
Aaron is involved because God has appointed him as Moses' prophet, as stated in Exodus 7:1, and he will be the one to actually speak to Pharaoh on behalf of Moses, who had concerns about his ability to speak, as mentioned in Exodus 4:10.
What is the main command that God gives to Moses to speak to Pharaoh through Aaron?
The main command is for Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land, which is a direct response to the Israelites' cries for help, as seen in Exodus 2:23-25, and is part of God's larger plan to redeem His people, as promised in Exodus 6:6-8.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of the Exodus?
This verse sets the stage for the confrontation between God and Pharaoh, which will ultimately lead to the redemption of the Israelites, as God fulfills His promises to them, and demonstrates His power and glory, as seen in Exodus 14:1-31, and is a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, as mentioned in Genesis 15:13-14.

- In what ways can I, like Aaron, support and enable others to fulfill their calling and speak God's words to those around them?
