Exodus 6:28-7:7

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.

New American Standard Bible 1995
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)speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak 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 Stretch Out My Hand”
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(D)See, I make 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 that I may (G)multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 When (H)Pharaoh does not listen to you, then I will lay My hand on Egypt and (I)bring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by (J)great judgments. 5 (K)The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I (L)stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.” 6 So Moses and Aaron did it; (M)as the Lord commanded them, thus they did. 7 Moses was (N)eighty years old and Aaron [b]eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
