Moses and Aaron's Mission Begins

Moses and Aaron embark on their mission to confront Pharaoh and request the release of the Israelites from slavery. They approach Pharaoh with a divine message, expressing the need for the people to worship their God in the desert. Pharaoh's immediate response is one of defiance, questioning the authority of this God, Yahweh, whom he claims not to know. This sets the stage for the subsequent conflict between Pharaoh's power and God's intentions for the Israelites.
