Today’s Devotional
Exodus 5:1 records the moment when Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh, demanding the release of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. God had instructed Moses to lead His people out of Egypt, and this verse marks the beginning of a series of confrontations between Moses and Pharaoh.
Pharaoh, however, was resistant to the request and refused to let the Israelites go. This event ultimately led to the ten plagues and the eventual release of the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt.
