Dr. Saleska engages in a spirited discussion over the significance of the "Name of the Lord." The confrontation between Pharaoh and Moses begins in earnest in Exodus 7.

Dr. Saleska discusses the passage concerning the "hardening" of Pharaoh's heart, and the conversation (or should we say contest) between Moses and Pharaoh.

Moses must leave Egypt because he's become a murderer. What is going to become of him as he escapes to the desert? God has something in mind, as Dr. John Saleska explains.
