Exodus 6:28–7:7

Aaron to Speak for Moses

28 Now when the Lord spoke to Moses in Egypt, 29 he said to him, “I am the Lord.j Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I tell you.”

30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Since I speak with faltering lips,k why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like Godl to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.m You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,n and though I multiply my signs and wonderso in Egypt, he will not listenp to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgmentq I will bring out my divisions,r my people the Israelites. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lords when I stretch out my handt against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”

Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commandedu them. Moses was eighty years oldv and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
