Exodus 4-6

If They Will Not Believe These Signs

Aaron to Speak for Moses

[11] And Yahweh said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes [him] mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh? [12] "So now, go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth and will instruct you what you shall speak." [Exo 4:11-12 LSB]

[11] "Now when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say, [12] for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." [Luk 12:11-12 LSB]

 

Moses Returns to Egypt

[21] And Yahweh said to Moses, "When you go to return to Egypt, see [to it] that all the miraculous wonders which I have put in your hand, that you do them before Pharaoh; but as for Me, I will harden his heart with strength so that he will not let the people go. [22] "Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says Yahweh, "Israel is My son, My firstborn. [23] "So I said to you, 'Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn."'" [Exo 4:21-23 LSB]

[15] For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." [16] So then it [does] not [depend] on the one who wills or the one who runs, but on God who has mercy. [17] For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND IN ORDER THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." [18] So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. [Rom 9:15-18 LSB]

Pharaoh Will Not Let the People Go

Yahweh Remembers His Covenant

[3] and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but [by] My name, Yahweh, I was not known to them. [Exo 6:3 LSB]
