Moses felt inadequate to speak before the Hebrew people and to go before Pharaoh to demand the freedom of his people. I'm sure we've all felt incapable of carrying out all that the Lord has led us to do. Praise God, He knows us better than we know ourselves and never leaves us unequipped. :) He sent Moses' brother, Aaron, to help him with this assignment. He prophesied to Moses that through him, He would perform great miracles which would be a sign to both the Hebrew people and the Egyptians.
Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, refused to release the Hebrew people from slavery and allow them to leave his country. So the Lord sent ten plagues upon the Egyptians to break Pharaoh's stubborn will and demonstrate His power and superiority over the pagan gods of the Egyptians.
Through each plague, Pharaoh continued to harden his heart and through such, his people and his lands were slowly being destroyed.
