# Moses Speaks to Pharaoh

Exodus 5:1–7:13

Right away, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh. They said, “God is speaking to you through us. Let my people go so they can serve me.” But Pharaoh got angry and made Israel suffer more.

Moses prayed to God, “Why did you send me to Pharaoh?” God told him, “Go back to Pharaoh. Show him the signs I gave you.” So Moses and Aaron returned. Aaron threw down his staff. It became a snake. Pharaoh’s magicians then did the same thing. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the magician’s snakes.

Questions: What happened after Moses first spoke to Pharaoh? What did Aaron’s staff do when he threw it down?
