The LORD told Moses that he had made him like a God to Pharaoh and Aaron would be his Prophet. They went to Pharaoh and Aaron’s staff became snake yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened. They Lord turned the Nile into blood.

The Lord reassured Moses and the Israelites that he would lead them out of Egypt to the promised land. Aaron and Moses were from the tribe of Levi.

Moses and his brother Aaron told Pharaoh to let the Israelites go but he refused and increased their workload.

The Lord gave Moses signs so that the people would listen. Moses complained of his ineloquency, so God sent his brother Aaron to speak for him.

Moses heard the voice of God from a burning bush. God told him he would lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses asked God his name and God answered “I am who I am”.

Pharaoh’s daughter found a Hebrew baby boy by the river. She named him Moses. When Moses grew up, he killed an Egyptian. When Moses saw that his secret had been discovered he fled to Midian.

The Israelites were prosperous in Egypt, then a new king came into power and forced them into hard labour. He even ordered that their baby boys be killed at birth.

Pharaoh allowed Joseph to go and bury his father. Back in Egypt before Joseph died he made the Israelites swear an oath in anticipation of God’s intervention in their liberation and return to the land He promised their father Abraham.

Jacob gathered all his sons and blessed them. He demanded them to bury him with Abraham in the cave at Canaan. Then he died.

Jacob because ill, Joseph took his sons to see him. Jacob blessed Joseph’s sons as his own putting Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.
