And the Israelites
This phrase identifies the collective group of God's chosen people, the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. The term "Israelites" is derived from the Hebrew word "Yisra'el," which means "God prevails." This highlights their identity as a people under the sovereignty and guidance of God. Historically, the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, and this verse marks a pivotal moment in their journey towards liberation. It underscores their unity and shared identity as they prepare to follow God's command.

went and did
The action verbs "went" and "did" emphasize obedience and action. In Hebrew, the root words for these actions are "halak" (to go, walk) and "asah" (to do, make). These words convey a sense of movement and purpose, indicating that the Israelites not only heard God's command but actively carried it out. This obedience is a testament to their faith and trust in God's promises, setting a precedent for future acts of faithfulness.

just what the LORD had commanded
This phrase highlights the precision and exactness with which the Israelites followed God's instructions. The Hebrew word for "commanded" is "tsavah," which implies a directive given with authority. The LORD, or "Yahweh," is the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal presence and faithfulness. The Israelites' adherence to God's command reflects their reverence for His authority and their commitment to His covenant.

Moses and Aaron
Moses and Aaron are central figures in the Exodus narrative, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses, whose name means "drawn out" in Hebrew, was drawn out of the Nile as a baby and later drawn out of obscurity to lead his people. Aaron, his brother, served as his spokesperson and high priest. Their leadership is divinely appointed, and their roles are crucial in mediating God's will to the people. This phrase underscores the importance of godly leadership and the responsibility of leaders to faithfully convey God's commands.

Verse 28. - So did they. The long series of miracles wrought by Moses and Aaron had so impressed the people, that they yielded an undoubting and ready obedience.

CHAPTER 12:29, 30
