Exodus 6:28-7:7
New Living Translation
28 When the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 he said to him, “I am the Lord! Tell Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, everything I am telling you.” 30 But Moses argued with the Lord, saying, “I can’t do it! I’m such a clumsy speaker! Why should Pharaoh listen to me?”
Aaron’s Staff Becomes a Serpent
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pay close attention to this. I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother, Aaron, will be your prophet. 2 Tell Aaron everything I command you, and Aaron must command Pharaoh to let the people of Israel leave his country. 3 But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces—my people, the Israelites—from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment. 5 When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”
6 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. 7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three when they made their demands to Pharaoh.

International Standard Version
Moses Doubts that Pharaoh will Listen
28 And it happened when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt 29 that the Lord told Moses, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything that I’m saying to you.”
30 Moses said in the presence of the Lord, “Look, I’m not a persuasive speaker,[a] so how will Pharaoh listen to me?”
God Appoints Aaron to Assist Moses
7 The Lord told Moses, “Listen! I’ve positioned you as God[b] to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. 2 You are to speak everything that I’ve commanded you, and then your brother Aaron will speak to Pharaoh, telling him to let the Israelis go out of his land. 3 I’ll harden Pharaoh’s heart and I’ll add more and more of my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 When Pharaoh won’t listen to you, I’ll let loose my power[c] upon Egypt. I’ll bring out my tribal divisions—my people the Israelis—from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.[d] 5 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand over Egypt to bring the Israelis out from among them.” 6 Moses and Aaron did what the Lord commanded them. 7 Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 when they spoke to Pharaoh.
