Moses raised two objections in Exodus 3 while speaking with God at the burning bush: Who am I that I should appear before Pharaoh and who will I say sent me? There will be two more specific objections and one “but I don’t want to.” Has anyone thought about the question from yesterday: Exactly who is Moses talking to at the burning bush?

Exodus 4 

Moses answered and said “But they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice, for they will say ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’”

2 And the Lord said to him “What is that in your hand?” And he said “A staff.” 

3 And he said “Cast it on the ground.” And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

4 The Lord said to Moses “Put out your hand and take it by the tail:” And he put out his hand, and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand:

5 “That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

6 Again the LORD said to him “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out his hand was leprous as snow.

7 And he said “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” And he put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he pulled it out it was restored like the rest of his flesh.

8 “If they will not believe you, nor pay attention to the first sign, they may believe after the second sign.

9 And if they will not believe these two signs, nor listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the Nile and pour it on the dry land, and the water that you take out of the Nile shall become blood upon the dry land.”

10 Moses said to the LORD “O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither in time past nor since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

11 The LORD said to him “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, or the deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I the LORD?

12 Now go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you should say.”

13 And he said “O LORD, please send someone else.” 

14 The anger of the LORD burned against Moses and he said “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

15 You shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do. 

16 And he will speak to the people for you: he will be as a mouth for you, and you will be as God to him.

17 You shall take this staff in your hand and with it perform signs.”

18 Then Moses returned to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him “Please let me go and return to my kindred who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses “Go in peace.”

19 The Lord said to Moses in Midian “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men are dead who sought your life.”

20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.

21 And the Lord said to Moses “When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart that he shall not let the people go.

22 You shall say to Pharaoh ‘This is what the LORD says: “Israel is my son, my firstborn.

23 And I say to you Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go I will slay your son, even your firstborn.”’”

24 On the way to the encampment, the LORD met Moses and sought to kill him.

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet and said “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.” 

26 So he let him go. She said “You are a bridegroom of blood” because of the circumcision.

27 The LORD said to Aaron “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” And he went and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
