Aliya Summary: G‑d tells Moshe to go speak to Pharaoh, and Aaron
should serve as his spokesman. G‑d informed him that He will harden
Pharaoh's heart and he will refuse to release the Israelites. At that
point G‑d will "multiply His wonders" in Egypt, until the Egyptians will
recognize that G‑d is the L-rd.
How is it that Moshe
is able to speak to the People of Israel throughout his "career" as
leader, in light of the fact that he complained of being "speech
impaired"? Could it be that the Jews wanted to hear what Moshe had to
say, and therefore concentrated harder on the understanding his words,
while Paroh clearly didn't want to be punished nor to let the Israelites
go, and therefore would use the excuse that he couldn't understand what
Moshe was saying. It's amazing what we can accomplish when we actually
want to!
