Exodus 6:28-7:7
Legacy Standard Bible
Aaron Will Speak for Moses
28 Now it happened on the day when Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 that Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “(A)I am Yahweh; (B)speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.” 30 But Moses said before Yahweh, “Behold, I am of (C)uncircumcised lips; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”
7 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “(D)See, I [a]set 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 (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 with stiffness that I may (G)multiply My signs and My [b]wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But (H)Pharaoh will not listen to you. And I will [c]set My hand upon Egypt and (I)bring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by (J)great judgments. 5 (K)Then the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I (L)stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.” 6 So Moses and Aaron did it; (M)as Yahweh commanded them, thus they did. 7 Now Moses was (N)eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh
28 On the day the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 He said to him, “I am Yahweh;(A) tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I am telling you.”
30 But Moses replied in the Lord’s presence, “Since I am such a poor speaker,[a](B) how will Pharaoh listen to me?”
7 The Lord answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet. 2 You must say whatever I command you; then Aaron your brother must declare it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites go from his land. 3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart(C) and multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 Pharaoh will not listen to you, but I will put My hand on Egypt and bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. 5 The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh(D) when I stretch out My hand(E) against Egypt, and bring out the Israelites from among them.”
6 So Moses and Aaron did this; they did just as the Lord commanded them. 7 Moses was 80 years old(F) and Aaron 83 when they spoke to Pharaoh.
