Exodus 7:6Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
The setting
Palace entrance, ancient Memphis, Egypt. Two 80-year-old men walk toward the throne of the world's most powerful ruler...
The emotion here: Moses recounting with gratitude for grace to obey the impossible
The original word
asah (עָשָׂה) — to accomplish, to bring into reality what was commanded
Why it matters
Moses was 80 and Aaron 83 when they confronted Pharaoh — ancient by any standard
Read with care
What most readers miss in Exodus 7:6
