Commentary on Exodus 7:1

Theological / Devotional

A god to Pharaoh. Moses’ last objection (Exodus 6:12, repeated in v. 30) was removed by God. Moses was reluctant to appear a second time before Pharaoh, who was so much his worldly superior, but God reminded him that as a representative of the God of heaven and earth he was superior to Pharaoh. Pharaoh’s power was but human; his was divine. He was to be to Pharaoh as “a god,” with authority and power to command obedience.

Thy prophet. As a prophet is a spokesman for God, so Aaron was to speak for Moses, to interpret his commands to Pharaoh and to the Israelites (see Exodus 4:16).
