Chapter 4 of Exodus narrates the continuation of the conversation between God and Moses, after being called to free the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt. Moses expresses his doubts and concerns about his ability to lead the people and convince Pharaoh to let them go. God then performs some signs and miracles to prove His power to Moses and show that he will be with him in his mission. Next, five verses related to the topics addressed in Exodus 4:
Genesis 12:2: "And I will make you a great nation, and bless you, and I will magnify your name; and you will be a blessing." This verse highlights how God has promised to bless and multiply Abraham's offspring, and how this promise is relevant to the history of Exodus, for the people of Israel are a descendant of Abraham and it is the nation that God has promised to him.
Isaiah 41:20: "that everyone may see and know, and consider and together understand that the hand of the Lord did this, and the saint of Israel created him." This verse highlights how God uses signs and miracles to show His power and prove that you are with your followers. This is relevant to Chapter 4 of Exodus, where God performs signs and miracles to convince Moses and the people of Israel of His power.
Psalm 77:14: "You are the God who made wonders; you made your strength known among the peoples." This verse also highlights God's ability to perform signs and miracles to show his power and make his will. This is relevant to the history of Exodus, where God uses signs and miracles to free the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt.
Isaiah 42:8: "I am the Lord; this is my name; my glory, for another I will not give, nor my praise to the images of sculpture." This verse highlights God's uniqueness and exclusivity as the only true God. This is relevant to the history of Exodus, for the liberation of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt is a testimony of God's unique and exclusive power.
Psalm 121:2: "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." This verse highlights the importance of trusting God for help and protection rather than trusting our own skills or resources. This is relevant to Chapter 4 of Exodus, where Moses expresses doubts and concerns about his ability to lead the people of Israel, and God shows him that he will be with him in his mission.
