The instruction God gave to Moses at the burning bush was very clear. “You and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt” (Exodus 3:18). At the end of chapter 4, things seemed to be going according to plan.

Nevertheless, God uses Moses to bring about the deliverance of His people. This is a stark reminder that God uses even the most shameful events in human history to bring about His good purpose.
