“That you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson ... I am the LORD” (v2). God told Moses to demand the release of the Israelite slaves, not just for their own sakes, but for the sake of future generations. Pharaoh himself understood that the Israelites wanted a different future for their families – thus he refused to release their “little ones” (v10). But Moses repeated that the Lord wanted them to leave, adults, children, and even livestock for offerings (v26),
New generations, our “sons and daughters” (v9), need to know the story of God’s mighty acts of deliverance. The God that rescued the Israelite slaves from Egypt is more powerful than every threat, danger, and spiritual enemy we face today.
