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.

28 And so it was on a certain day[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt. 29 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “I am Yahweh. Speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, all that I am speaking to you.” 30 And Moses said before Yahweh, “Look, I am a poor speaker.[b] And how will Pharaoh listen to me?”
Yahweh Reviews Plans for Bringing the Israelites out of Egypt
7 And Yahweh said to Moses, “See, I have made you as a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet. 2 You will speak all that I will command you, and Aaron your brother will speak to Pharaoh, and he will release the Israelites[c] from his land. 3 And I myself will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will make my signs and my wonders numerous in the land of Egypt. 4 And Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will put my hand into Egypt and bring out my divisions, my people, the Israelites,[d] from the land of Egypt with great punishments. 5 And the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand over Egypt and bring the Israelites[e] out from their midst.”
6 And Moses and Aaron did it; as Yahweh commanded them, so they did. 7 (And Moses was eighty years old,[f] and Aaron was eighty-three years old[g] when they spoke to Pharaoh.)
