Exodus 6:28–7:7

Aaron Will Speak for Moses

²⁸Now it happened on the day when Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

²⁹that Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “^aI am Yahweh; ^bspeak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.”

³⁰But Moses said before Yahweh, “Behold, I am of ^auncircumcised lips; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”

CHAPTER 7

¹Then Yahweh said to Moses, “^aSee, I ¹set you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.

²“You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother ^aAaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

³“But ^aI will harden Pharaoh’s heart with stiffness that I may ^bmultiply My signs and My ¹wonders in the land of Egypt.

⁴“But ^aPharaoh will not listen to you. And I will ¹set My hand upon Egypt and ^bbring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by ^cgreat judgments.

⁵“^aThen the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I ^bstretch out My hand against Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.”

⁶So Moses and Aaron did it; ^aas Yahweh commanded them, thus they did.

⁷Now Moses was ^aeighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
