Exodus 6:14

"The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt."

Key Reflection

This passage underscores God's active role in delivering His people by delegating specific instructions through Moses and Aaron. It highlights both the divine command and its dual recipients, emphasizing the involvement of Pharaoh as a figure of resistance against God’s plan, thereby foreshadowing the dramatic confrontation that would follow.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

These be the heads -We have in the following verses, not a complete genealogy, but a summary account of the family of the two brothers. Moses records for the satisfaction of Hebrew readers, to whom genealogical questions were always interesting, the descent and position of the designated leaders of the nation. SeeExodus 6:26-27.
