Exo 4:27-6:1 chiastic structure
The central axis of the central axis is Exo 5:5a:
Pharaoh said: “Behold, the people of the land are now many;”
This is remarkable considering that for at least 80 years, since before the birth of Moses, who was 80 years old at the time the Lord sent him to Pharaoh, it had been the policy of the Egyptian kings to try to murder the baby boys, and oppress and enslave the people. In other words, the blessing of God remained in effect, even though the ruler of the world tried to nullify it.
Truly, if God is for us, who can be against us? ♥
