Moses and Aaron Obey God’s Commands

28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹he said to him, ‘I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.’ ³⁰But Moses said in the Lord’s presence, ‘Since I am a poor speaker,^* why would Pharaoh listen to me?’

7The Lord said to Moses, ‘See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. ²You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land. ³But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay my hand upon Egypt and bring my people the Israelites, company by company, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgement. ⁵The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.’ ⁶Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. ⁷Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
