Exodus 4 comes alive as we trace Moses’ objections and God’s gracious answers: the staff that becomes a serpent, the leprous hand restored, and Nile water turned to blood—all pointing forward to redemption. We explore “slow of speech,” why Aaron is appointed, the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, God’s claim “Israel is my firstborn,” and the shocking “bridegroom of blood” scene—before the elders finally believe and worship.
