What does Exodus 4:28 mean?
Aaron is Moses' older brother (Exodus 6:20; 7:7). He's been appointed by God as the public spokesman (Exodus 4:14–16) for Moses' mission to free Israel (Exodus 3:10). Their reunion started off well (Exodus 4:27). Here, Moses relays what's happened so far. Presumably, this includes his encounter with the burning bush (Exodus 3:4–6) as well as the signs the Lord has provided. Moses' three signs include transforming his staff into a snake (Exodus 4:3–4), inflicting and removing leprosy from his hand (Exodus 4:6–7), and turning water into blood (Exodus 4:9).Artist depictions of Exodus often show Moses as the "front man" of these events. Actually, it is Aaron who does nearly all the public speaking (Exodus 4:15). The two will become something of a team leading the Israelite people. The phrase "Moses and Aaron" occurs dozens of times in Scripture. First Samuel 12:6 will later remember these brothers, saying, "The Lord is witness, who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt." Generations later Psalm 77:20 sings, "You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron."
