Exodus 7:1-7

New American Standard Bible

I Will Extend My Hand

7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “^(A)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 ^(B)Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land. ³ But ^(C)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that I may ^(D)multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴ When ^(E)Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and ^(F)bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by ^(G)great judgments. ⁵ Then ^(H)the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I ^(I)extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.” ⁶ So Moses and Aaron did this; ^(J)as the Lord commanded them, so they did. ⁷ And Moses was ^(K)eighty years old and Aaron ^[a]eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
