Ex 7:1-25. SECOND INTERVIEW WITH PHARAOH.
1. the Lord said unto Moses--He is here encouraged to wait again
on the king--not, however, as formerly, in the attitude of a humble
suppliant, but now armed with credentials as God's ambassador, and to
make his demand in a tone and manner which no earthly monarch or court
ever witnessed.
I have made thee a god--"made," that is, set, appointed; "a
god"; that is, he was to act in this business as God's representative,
to act and speak in His name and to perform things beyond the ordinary
course of nature. The Orientals familiarly say of a man who is
eminently great or wise, "he is a god" among men.
Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet--that is, "interpreter"
or "spokesman." The one was to be the vicegerent of God, and the other
must be considered the speaker throughout all the ensuing scenes, even
though his name is not expressly mentioned.
