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.
