Exodus 6:28-7:7
New King James Version
Aaron Is Moses’ Spokesman
28 And it came to pass, on the day the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 that the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “I am the Lord. (A)Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.”
30 But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, (B)I am [a]of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?”
Moses Before Pharaoh
7 So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you (C)as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be (D)your prophet. 2 You (E)shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. 3 And (F)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and (G)multiply My (H)signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But (I)Pharaoh will not heed you, so (J)that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My [b]armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt (K)by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians (L)shall know that I am the Lord, when I (M)stretch out My hand on Egypt and (N)bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron (O)did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was (P)eighty years old and (Q)Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Exodus 6:28-7:7
Young's Literal Translation
28 And it cometh to pass in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29 that Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, `I [am] Jehovah, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking unto thee.'
30 And Moses saith before Jehovah, `Lo, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how doth Pharaoh hearken unto me?'
7 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;
2 thou -- thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
3 `And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
5 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'
6 And Moses doth -- Aaron also -- as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
7 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.
Exodus 6:28-7:7
New American Standard Bible
28 Now it came about on the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 that the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “(A)I am the Lord; (B)say to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” 30 But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, I am [a](C)unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”
I Will Extend My Hand
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(D)See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2 As for you, you shall speak all that I command you, and your brother (E)Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land. 3 But (F)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that I may (G)multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 When (H)Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and (I)bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by (J)great judgments. 5 Then (K)the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I (L)extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.” 6 So Moses and Aaron did this; (M)as the Lord commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was (N)eighty years old and Aaron [b]eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
