Exodus 6:28-7:7
New American Standard Bible
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)say to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say 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 Extend My Hand
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(D)See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2 As for you, 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, so that I may (G)multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 When (H)Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and (I)bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by (J)great judgments. 5 Then (K)the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I (L)extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.” 6 So Moses and Aaron did this; (M)as the Lord commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was (N)eighty years old and Aaron [b]eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Exodus 6:28-7:7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.
