Reading for June 24th

Read Exodus 6.26-7.7
In verse 1: The relationship between Moses and Aaron as his mouthpiece will be similar to the relationship between God and Moses.
Just as Moses is god's prophet or messenger, so Aaron will be Moses' prophet or spokesperson.
In verse 3: Harden Pharaoh's heart: see comment on 4.21.
In verse 5; Stretch out my hand: see comment on 6.6.
In verse 7: Contrary to expectations, the younger brother Moses is superior to the older brother Aaron.
This is a frequent motif int he biblical narratives (Gen 25.23; 37.5-11).
