V.1 Finally Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. They quote the Lord’s words.
V.6-14 Instead of obeying the Lord, Pharaoh makes the Israelites work harder. Circumstances get steadily worse. Pharaoh (a type of Satan) is a hard taskmaster.
V.19-23 These officers are acting without God’s instruction in going to Pharaoh; they blame Moses — like believers who act without instruction from God’s Word. They always cause trouble. Moses loses his confidence in the Lord. There are lessons he has yet to learn.
