See - Ex 16:29 Ge 19:21 1Ki 17:23 2Ki 6:32 Ec 1:10 a god - Ex 4:15,16 Ps 82:6 Jer 1:10 Joh 10:35,36 Exodus 7 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries JEHOVAH'S ANSWER TO MOSES' EXCUSE This is another example of a poor chapter break. Exodus 6 ends with Moses' repeated excuse that he can't speak (Ex 4:10+, Ex 6:12+, Ex 6:30+) and because of this Pharaoh would not listen to him. God's response once again shows us His boundless patience with His hesitating servant Moses. What is amazing here is that God does not even chastise Moses! O the depth of the mercy of God! Moses would have surely appreciated the words of Charles Wesley's great hymn (as we all can!!!).... Depth of mercy, can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear me The chief of sinners, spare? Heaven find me on my knees Hear my soul impassioned pleas Depth of mercy, can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Now incline me to repent Let me now my sins lament Deeply my revolt deplore Weep, believe and sin no more Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I make you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet - Earlier God had told Moses "you will be as God to" Aaron who was to speak for him (Ex 4:16). In other words Moses was like God in that (like God) he had a prophet, his brother Aaron. And just as Moses was not to act on his own initiative but to wait on Jehovah's direction, so too Aaron was not to act on his own initiative, but was to wait for words from God through Moses.
