The river is turned into blood; and the consequent distress of the Egyptians The LORD answered Moses This phrase emphasizes the direct communication between God and Moses, highlighting the unique relationship Moses had with God.

This divine interaction underscores the authority and assurance Moses receives from God, reinforcing the idea that God is actively involved in the deliverance of His people. See I have made you like God to Pharaoh and your brother Aaron will be your prophet (1) See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh . . . --This is God's answer to the objection of Moses that his lips were uncircumcised (Exodus 6:12), and probably followed it immediately. The force of it would seem to be: "Thou art not called on to speak, but to act. In action thou wilt be to Pharaoh as a god--powerful, wonder-working, irresistible; it is Aaron who will have to speak to him, and he is eloquent" (Exodus 4:14). Thy prophet.--Or spokesman--the declarer of thy mind, which is the primary sense of "prophet." Verses 1-9. - Once more God made allowance for the weakness and self-distrust of Moses, severely tried as he had been by his former failure to persuade Pharaoh (Exodus 5:1-5) and his recent rejection by the people of Israel (Exodus 6:9). He made allowance, and raised his courage and his spirits by fresh promises, and by a call upon him for immediate action. The process of deliverance, God assured him, was just about to begin. Miracles would be wrought until Pharaoh's stubbornness was overcome. He was himself to begin the series at once by casting his rod upon the ground, that it might become a serpent (ver. 9). From this point Moses' diffidence wholly disappears. Once launched upon his Heaven-directed course, assured of his miraculous powers, committed to a struggle with the powerful Egyptian king, he persevered without blenching or wavering until success crowned his efforts. Verse 1. - I have made thee a god to Pharaoh. Moses was diffident of appearing a second time before Pharaoh, who was so much his worldly superior. God reminds him that he is in truth very much Pharaoh's superior. If Pharaoh has earthly, he has unearthly power. He is to Pharaoh "as a god," with a right to command his obedience, and with strength to enforce his commands. Aaron shall be thy prophet, i.e. "thy spokesman" - the interpreter of thy will to others. Compare Exodus 4:16.Parallel Commentaries ...
