So Moses and Aaron did
This phrase highlights the obedience of Moses and Aaron, which is a central theme in the narrative of the Exodus. Their actions are in direct response to God's command, demonstrating their faith and trust in God's plan. This obedience is crucial as it sets the stage for the subsequent plagues and the eventual liberation of the Israelites from Egypt. The partnership between Moses and Aaron is significant, as Aaron serves as Moses' spokesperson due to Moses' own admission of being "slow of speech" (Exodus 4:10). This teamwork reflects the importance of collaboration in fulfilling God's purposes.

just as the LORD had commanded them.
The phrase underscores the importance of following God's instructions precisely. This obedience is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, where blessings and success are often linked to adherence to God's commands. The phrase also connects to the broader biblical narrative of covenant faithfulness, where God's people are called to live according to His statutes. In the context of Exodus, this obedience is pivotal as it leads to the demonstration of God's power through the plagues, ultimately resulting in the deliverance of the Israelites. This act of obedience can be seen as a type of Christ, who perfectly obeyed the Father, even unto death (Philippians 2:8), securing salvation for humanity.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Moses
A central figure in the Book of Exodus, Moses is chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. He is a prophet and lawgiver, often seen as a type of Christ in Christian theology.

2. Aaron
Moses' brother, who serves as his spokesperson. Aaron is appointed by God to assist Moses in confronting Pharaoh and later becomes the first high priest of Israel.

3. The LORD (Yahweh)
The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence and faithfulness. In this context, He is the one commanding Moses and Aaron to act.

4. Pharaoh

Teaching Points
Obedience to God's Commands
Moses and Aaron's actions demonstrate the importance of obedience to God's instructions, even when facing daunting challenges. As believers, we are called to trust and obey God's Word, knowing that His plans are perfect.

Faith in Action
The obedience of Moses and Aaron is a testament to their faith. True faith is not passive but is demonstrated through action. We are encouraged to live out our faith by following God's guidance in our daily lives.

God's Sovereignty and Faithfulness
The account highlights God's sovereignty in orchestrating events for His purposes. Believers can find comfort in knowing that God is in control and faithful to His promises, even when circumstances seem overwhelming.

Partnership in Ministry
The collaboration between Moses and Aaron illustrates the value of partnership in ministry. God often calls us to work together with others to accomplish His purposes, emphasizing the importance of community and support in our spiritual journey.(6) Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them.--The reluctance and resistance of Moses from this time ceased. He subdued his own will to God's, and gained the praise of being "faithful as a servant in all his house" (Hebrews 3:5). Aaron's obedience continued until Sinai was reached, but there failed before the frenzy of the people (Exodus 32:1-6).

Verse 6. - Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them. This statement is general, and anticipative of the entire series of interviews beginning here (verse 10), and terminating (Exodus 10:29) with the words, "I will see thy face no more." The obedience of Moses and Aaron was perfect and continuous from this time forward until Egypt was quitted.
