Moses and Aaron Obey God’s Commands
28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 the Lord said to Moses, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.”(A) 30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Since I am a poor speaker,[a] why should Pharaoh listen to me?”(B)
7 The Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.(C) 2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.(D) 3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.(E) 4 When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay my hand upon Egypt and bring my people the Israelites, company by company, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.(F) 5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”(G) 6 Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them.(H) 7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.(I)

28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 the Lord said to Moses, (A)“I am the Lord; (B)tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” 30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, (C)I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh
7 And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like (D)God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your (E)prophet. 2 (F)You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. 3 But (G)I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I (H)multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, 4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. 5 The Egyptians (I)shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” 6 Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. 7 Now Moses was (J)eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
