Throughout this narrative, we see many things happen to Pharaoh.

Moses and Aaron

approach Pharaoh and ask him to let the enslaved Hebrew people go, and Pharaoh says to

him “Who is the lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go?”. Even after Moses performs

miracles for him he is too stubborn to understand. Moses continues to warn Pharaoh of the

punishments God has told him, but he is too egotistical to listen. Although he is tormented by

punishments from God, he refuses to accept that he should let the Israelites go. It is not until

his son is killed by the final punishment of God, that the Pharaoh finally has enough and lets

Moses leave Egypt with the Israelites. That is the first time we see Pharaoh change his mind

in the story, and even then he quickly regrets his decision and chases after them. Pharaoh is

shown to be arrogant and stubborn and throughout the narrative he refuses to change. The

character of Moses starts this narrative slightly doubting god. In the beginning he asks god

lots of questions, and even seems nervous at times. As god unfolds the different plagues

across Egypt and protects the Israelites, Moses begins to understand and trust what God

has planned for him. We see Moses and his brother Aaron perform miracles for God, as well

as speaking to pharaoh and the Israelites about the things God has planned, and this is how

we see his changes in confidence. After Moses speaks to Pharaoh the first time and Moses

punishes the Israelites for wanting to leave, we see Moses questioning god. Moses says to

him “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? Ever

since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and

you have not rescued your people at all.” Moses is questioning God's intentions but God

reassures him of his plan. Towards the end we see Moses become more confident in God

and in his faith. When Pharaoh and his people are approaching Moses and his people near

the red sea, Moses asks God what to do, and he immediately listens to God's instructions.

Throughout this narrative Moses had seen more than enough evidence that he now is

confident in his God to provide.
