Exodus 6:28-7:7

Amplified Bible

²⁸ Now it happened on the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹ that He said, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything that I say to you.” ³⁰ But Moses said before the Lord, “Look, I am ^[a]unskilled and inept in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me and pay attention to what I say?”

“I Will Stretch Out My Hand”

7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now hear this: I make you as God to Pharaoh [to declare My will and purpose to him]; and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. ² You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land. ³ And I will make Pharaoh’s heart hard, and multiply My signs and My wonders (miracles) in the land of Egypt. ⁴ But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I shall lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My hosts [like a defensive army, tribe by tribe], My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment (the plagues). ⁵ The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.” ⁶ And Moses and Aaron did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. ⁷ Now Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
