Exodus 6:28–7:7

²⁸In the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt.

²⁹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord; speak thou to Pharao, king of Egypt, all that I say to thee.

³⁰And Moses said before the Lord: Lo I am of uncircumcised lips, how will Pharao hear me?

Chapter 7

And the Lord said to Moses: Behold, I have appointed thee the god of Pharao; and Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy prophet.

²Thou shalt speak to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak to Pharao, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

³But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.

⁴And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by very great judgments.

⁵And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of them.

⁶And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded; so did they.

⁷And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao.
