Exodus 7:3

"You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

Key Reflection

Pharaoh's refusal to release the Israelites would not deter Moses and Aaron, who were instructed by God to speak His words forcefully and persistently. This commission underscored their role as divinely appointed mediators between God and Pharaoh, emphasizing that their success in convincing the pharaoh lay solely with God’s power and authority, setting the stage for the dramatic confrontations and miraculous events to come.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Wonders -A word used only of portents performed to prove a divine interposition; they were the credentials of God’s messengers.
