Exodus 6:28–7:7

²⁸And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹that Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee. ³⁰And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how will Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Chapter 7

¹And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. ²Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. ³And I will render Pharaoh’s heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. ⁵And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. ⁶And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they. ⁷And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
