Exodus 4:21

"Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand."

Key Reflection

This passage symbolizes the journey from slavery to freedom, with Moses and his family representing those being led out of spiritual bondage. The donkey, often associated with humility and submission, underscores the need for humility in following God's will.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will harden -Calamities which do not subdue the heart harden it. In the case of Pharaoh, the hardening was at once a righteous judgment, and a natural result of a long series of oppressions and cruelties.
