How do the elders react to Moses and Aaron’s message?

Exodus 4:31 (ESV)

31 And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.

They believe God is concerned about them, as God had promised in Exodus 3:18 and they bow down and worship the Lord. Before God rescues them, they praise him and know: it will happen.
