Verses 29-31
"And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: And Aaron spoke all the words which Jehovah had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. And the people believed: and when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel. and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped."
"And the people believed ..." God was right, after all, as He always is. All of the fears and apprehensions by Moses that they would not hear him were founded and inaccurate. Furthermore, this does not contradict the statement in Exodus 6:9 that they "would not listen to Moses." "They gave heed to Moses at first, but since instant deliverance did not come, in their disappointment and impatience, they would not (at that time) listen to him."[43] Nevertheless, this initial acceptance of Moses and Aaron was a true indication that, despite all lapses and hindrances, Israel would indeed follow them out of Egypt.
