Exodus 4

Chapter 3 ends with Moses doubting his ability to communicate God's message to powerful leaders. Chapter 4 continues that conversation.

God empowers Moses to demonstrate three signs or supernatural demonstrations to help convince the elders of Israel that God is making the request for the children of Israel to go into the wilderness to worship for three days. Again, he doubts his ability because he is not a confident speaker. Aaron is appointed to assist Moses with speaking to the king of Egypt.

Moses stopped at a lodge while travelling with his family. An indecipherable incident causes a disagreement with God. God's anger is quelled by Moses' wife circumcising their son, touching Moses' feet with the foreskin, and declaring him her bridegroom.
