ISRAEL THE NATION: The Plagues & The Passover
(Study 2-D)

After four hundred years of slavery in Egypt, Yah chose a deliverer for His people. The man Moses had received a thorough education in the courts of the Pharaoh, had learned the subtleties of leadership as a shepherd for 40 years with the flock of his father-in-law, and had developed the finely-tuned qualities of a husband and father in the land of Midian.

Moreover, he had the promise of Yah that he would be taught of the Almighty Himself what words to say when he should appear before Pharaoh with the unusual request of releasing all his Hebrew slaves.

In response to his protests and uncertainties, Yah permitted him to enlist the aid of his brother Aaron, and so it is these two who go before the king with the command of the Sovereign Lord.
