It's Day 16 and we're in Exodus 4.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 1 - How many excuses can we come up with as to why we shouldn't do what God is calling us to do?
Help:
- Verse 21 - Does this mean that God was overriding Pharaoh's free will? I think it was a combination of two things: Pharaoh was inclined to be hard-hearted toward Israel and God orchestrated the situation to accentuate that.
- Verses 24-26 - This is an obscure and weird passage that has stumped scholars for centuries. I can't really say that I have a good answer to what's going on here.

- "No line caught my eye, but the overall quickness of Moses's sister has always intrigued me. She was undoubtedly hidden, watching over the basket. When she realizes the Pharaoh's daughter wants him, she is quick to recommend her own mother as wet nurse. Weaning took 2-3 years then; meaning Moses spent his earliest years with his biological mother."
