Reading for July 29th

 Ex 4.1-17. In 4.1-31: Moses raises a third objection. God responds by offering three signs to be performed to bolster the people's confidence in Moses (vv. 2-9). Moses and his brother Aaron perform the signs in 4.30. Moses' brother Aaron will use the sign of the staff's turning into a serpent (vv. 2-5) as a means to try to convince Pharaoh (7.8-13). The third sign, the Nile River's turning into blood (v. 9), will become the first plague against Egypt (7.14-25). In verse 10: Moses' fourth objection is his inability as a speaker; slow of speech and slow of tongue. In verse 13: In a final desperate objection, Moses asks God send someone else. In verse 14: For the first time, the anger of the Lord appears after much patience with Moses. God promises to send Moses' brother Aaron as his mouthpiece (vv. 14-17). Comments or Questions..
