Reading the Bible in Historical Sequence Part 1Mostra

1491 BC God sends Moses, feeling very inadequate now at the age of 80, back into Egypt to address Pharaoh and use miraculous powers to get the Hebrews released.

Note 1 (Exodus 4:24–25): Moses had evidently been disobeying God in not circumcising his son. His wife Zipporah carried out the operation to save Moses’ life.

Note 2 (Exodus 5:11): The command to gather straw caused a dispersion of the Hebrews amongst the rich farmers of Egypt and made the plight of the Hebrews widely known.
