- When Hashem told Moshe to go and speak to Pharaoh and to tell him to
let the children of Israel go, why did Moshe feel he was unqualified?
Because his own people wouldn't listen to him, so why should Pharaoh. He
was "of uncircumcised lips", i.e., could not speak well.
- How does Hashem describe in this week's parsha the Covenant He made
with Avraham, Yitzhak, and Yaacov?
That He would give them the land of Canaan.
- What caused Hashem to remember His Covenant?
He heard the groaning of his people under the bondage of the Egyptians.
- What were the names of Moshe's mother and father?
Yocheved and Amram.
- What was the name of Aaron's wife?
Elisheva
- How much older than Moshe was Aaron?
3 years
- Aaron threw down his rod and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh's wise
men did the same. What happened next?
Aaron's rod swallowed up their
rods.
- Hashem told Moshe that He would harden Pharaoh's heart and Pharaoh
would not let the Israelites go. Why did Hashem say He was doing this?
So that He could multiply His signs and wonders and the Egyptians would
know that He is G-d.
- After Aaron's sign with serpents and the plague of blood, Pharaoh hardened his heart
because he saw his wise men could cause the same things. What was the
second plague, and what caused Pharaoh to harden his heart in that case?
Frogs; He had promised to let the Hebrews go if Moshe would get the
plague stopped, but after he got relief, he refused to release them.
The next plague was caused when Aaron smote the dust and what was
all over the place?
Gnats.
- Were the Pharaoh's wise men able to replicate
this plague?
No
- After the plague of flies, Pharaoh told Moshe and Aaron to take the
people and to sacrifice to their G-d in the land. They refused. Why?
Because sacrificing these animals in the sight of the Egyptians would be
an abomination to them and the Hebrews would be stoned.
- Under which plague were the Hebrews and their flocks safe as long as
they were in Goshen?
Hail
- What was the name of Moshe's wife?
Zipporah.
