Exodus 6:28–7:7

²⁸On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹the Lord said to Moses, ^l“I am the Lord; ^mtell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” ³⁰But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, ⁿI am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”

Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh

7And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like ^oGod to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your ^pprophet. ^2qYou shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. ³But ^rI will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I ^smultiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, ⁴Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. ⁵The Egyptians ^tshall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” ⁶Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. ⁷Now Moses was ^ueighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
