Remember His Wonders
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. Psalm 105:26 · Berean Standard Bible
When the time was right, God sent Moses and Aaron—His chosen servants—to confront Egypt and lead Israel out. After centuries of waiting, God's rescue plan was being set in motion.
By this point, Israel had been enslaved for generations. Moses grew up in Pharaoh's own household, fled Egypt, and spent forty years in the desert. Now, as an old man, God called him back with a mission that seemed impossible—free his enslaved people from the world's greatest power.
The psalmist, introducing the two men God would use for the exodus
Moses and Aaron represent God's direct intervention. After Joseph (who worked through the system), God now sends prophets who speak directly in His name and demand that Pharaoh let His people go. This is the shift from subtle providence to open confrontation.
God sent Moses and Aaron—his chosen servant and designate—to confront Pharaoh and demand Israel's liberation.
Exodus 3-4 records God's commissioning of Moses at the burning bush and his appointment of Aaron as spokesman. The language of sending (*šalaḥ*) is the same terminology used for the sending of prophets throughout scripture, indicating Moses' prophetic status and divine authorization.
The psalmist, now celebrating the instrumental agents through whom God would execute his redemptive plan.
Moses and Aaron represent God's deliberate choice of messengers—not military commanders or political diplomats, but figures operating through word and sign. This foreshadows how God consistently works through prophetic proclamation rather than raw power, a pattern that extends to the ultimate prophet, Jesus, in Christian typological reading.
24And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
25whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
Read all of Psalm 105 — From Abraham to the exodus, God's faithfulness is retold as a song. He remembered His holy promise and brought His people out with joy.
