Israel is suffering under the heavy hand of Egyptian oppression. God has heard their cries, remembered his covenant, and called Moses to be the deliverer. And Moses finally agrees to go.
He has met his brother Aaron and together they have returned to Egypt to confront Pharaoh… and it’s really a confrontation between God, Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt. The plagues we see in these chapters aren’t random. They are about who is the true God and who has ultimate power.
