MOSES’ CALL God appeared in a burning bush and appointed Ex. 3: 1 -6 Moses to serve as His messenger and liberate His people. God promised to be with Moses’ mouth and teach him what he shall say to Pharaoh. Ex. 4: 12 Moses’ relationship with God grew to the extend that he received high praise from His creator and when Mariam Num. 12: 1 and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses married, God revealed His assessment to Moses.
