Exodus Chapter 4
1
And Moses answered and said,
2
And Jehovah/God said unto him, And he {Moses} said, "A staff/rod."
3
And He said, And he cast it on the ground . . . and it became a serpent. And Moses fled from before it.
4
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
And
he put forth his hand, and caught it,
5
"That they may believe
6
And Jehovah/God said furthermore unto him, And he put his hand into his bosom.
And
when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous
7
And He said,
And
he {Moses} put his hand into his bosom again
8
"And it shall come to pass,
And
it shall come to pass,
And
the water which you take out of the river
10``
And Moses said unto Jehovah/God, But I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue." {Note: Actually Moses was one of the brightest and best orators of his day. He is just afraid and trying to 'trick God' - like he could!}
11
And Jehovah/God said unto him, Or Who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I . . . Jehovah/God? 12
Now
therefore go,
13``
And he {Moses} said,
14
And the anger of Jehovah/God was kindled against Moses,
I
know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you. And when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15
And
you shall speak unto him,
And
I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth,
And
he shall be your spokesman unto the people.
And
he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth,
And
you shall take this staff/rod in your hand,
18
And Moses went and returned to Jethro, his father in law,
And
Jethro said to Moses, 'Go in peace'.
19
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses in Midian,
20
And Moses took his wife and his sons, And Moses took the "Staff/Rod of 'Elohiym/Godhead" in his hand.
21
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
But
I will keep on intensively support his heart/'right lobe' . . . {Note: The Pharaoh has had every opportunity in the world to believe in God. But, he has said no, no, no so many times, that the scar tissue on his soul had now made it impossible for him to change his mind. He should die the sin unto death, but God is keeping him alive, with his negative volition to God and His people here, alive as an example to the rest of the world. God is NOT coercing the Pharaoh's own volition here.}
22
And you shall say unto Pharaoh,
And
I say unto you, Let my 'son' go
And
if you refuse to let him go,
24
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, {Note: We have to fill in the blanks here. From the verses coming up, we see that the issue was the non-circumcism of Moses' son. For disobeying God, Moses here is dying the sin unto death.}
25
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, {Note: Apparently Moses told his Arab wife that if she did not circumcise their son God would take his life. So, his wife reluctantly agreed to circumcise their son, but she is 'divorcing' him over the incident. This is an idiom. She is saying that Moses is now 'dead to her'.} 26 So he let him go.
Then
she said,
27
And Jehovah/God said to Aaron,
And
he went, and met him in the Mount of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
28
And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah/God
29
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together
30
And Aaron spoke all the words which Jehovah/God had spoken unto Moses, 31a And the people believed. {Note: This is very clear. Moses used signs and miracles as all signs and miracles were used before the completed cannon of scripture - to evangelize. They are attention getters and a means of getting people to make the great decision to believe. So, the Exodus Generation was a generation of believers - though we will see how, without doctrine, they were terrible failures.}
