Chp. 4 verses 10 - 24: Hashem finishes speaking to Moshe, he then politely tells G-d that he has never been able to speak due to his speech impediment. G-d reminds him that speech and all other powers come from Him. Moshe still declines and Hashem gets angry and informs him that Aaron his brother is coming and he would be his spokesman. Hashem tells him to take the staff in his hand with which he would perform the signs. He says good bye to Yisro who wishes him well and he takes his wife and two children puts them on the donkey and he travels to Egypt. G-d warns him that Pharaoh would not listen to his request to let the people go and that the end would be that Hashem would kill the firstborn of Egypt. Moshe stops at an inn where an angel of G-d tries to kill him.

Also that they would leave Egypt with gold, silver, and clothing that they would borrow from the Egyptians. Chp. 4, Moshe says to G-d that the people would not believe that Hashem had appeared to him. Then G-d gives him three signs, the snake, leprosy, and blood, to present before the people so that they would know that he was the true redeemer and the time for the redemption was now.

Chp.4 verses 25 - 31 Chp.5 verses 1 - 23 & Chp. 6 verse 1: Tzipporah circumcises her son and saves Moshe's life. Aaron comes to meet Moshe. They go Egypt and Aaron tells the people all that G-d had told Moshe and he shows them the signs and they believe him. Chp. 5, Moshe and Aaron go to Pharaoh and tell him that Hashem had asked that he let the people go out to the desert to serve Him. Pharaoh answers " who is G-d that I should listen to His voice and let Israel go?" Instead he increases the burden on the people by making them collect their own straw to make the bricks.

Chp. 50 verses 14 -26: Yosef and his brothers return to Egypt after burying their father. The brothers detect a difference in Yosef attitude towards them.

They send a messenger to tell him that their father on his deathbed had instructed them to say to him that he should forgive them. He assures them that he will continue to support them and their children. Yosef lives to see great grandchildren. He is the first of the brothers to die. Before he dies he makes all the children of Israel swear that they will not leave Egypt without his bones. And with this verse we finish the Book of Bereishit. With the blessings of Hashem may we continue on to the Book of Shemos.
