Exodus 4:29 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 4:29

And Moses and Aaron went
Set forward for Egypt: and being come thither,

gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel;
the heads of tribes and families, as many as they could conveniently get together in one place; probably in the metropolis of the kingdom, where Pharaoh's palace was, since we quickly hear of their going in to him.

Exodus 4:29 In-Context

27 Forsooth the Lord said to Aaron, Go thou into the coming of Moses into desert; which went against Moses into the hill of God, and kissed him. (And the Lord said to Aaron, Go thou into the wilderness to meet Moses; and so he went to meet Moses at God's mountain, and kissed him.)
28 And Moses told to Aaron all the words of the Lord, for which he had sent Moses (that he had sent Moses to say); and he told (him about) the miracles, which the Lord had commanded (him to perform).
29 And they came together, and gathered all the elder men of the sons of Israel. (And they came, and gathered together all the elders of the Israelites.)
30 And Aaron spake all the words, which the Lord had said to Moses, and he did the signs before the people (and then Moses did all the miracles before the people);
31 and the people believed; and they heard, that the Lord had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had beheld the torment of them; and they worshipped low(ly), or meekly, the Lord. (and the people believed; and when they had heard, that the Lord had visited the Israelites, and that he had seen their torment, they lowly, or meekly, worshipped the Lord.)
