When the king makes the Hebrew slaves gather their own straw to make bricks, they blame Moses for their predicament. Moses cries out to God and God reassures him that indeed He will deliver the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. He tells him that the time for Him to fulfill the covenant that He made with their Jewish ancestors has come and He is now going to act. So, God sends Moses to encourage the Israelites, but they do not believe him. And God sends Moses and Aaron for a second time to pharaoh, but Moses complains that pharaoh won’t believe him either. The end of this chapter provides a genealogy to identify the “Moses and Aaron” whom God will use to lead Israel out of bondage.
