Exodus 6:28-7:7
New King James Version
Aaron Is Moses’ Spokesman
28 And it came to pass, on the day the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 that the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “I am the Lord. (A)Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.”
30 But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, (B)I am [a]of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?”
Moses Before Pharaoh
7 So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you (C)as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be (D)your prophet. 2 You (E)shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. 3 And (F)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and (G)multiply My (H)signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But (I)Pharaoh will not heed you, so (J)that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My [b]armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt (K)by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians (L)shall know that I am the Lord, when I (M)stretch out My hand on Egypt and (N)bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron (O)did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was (P)eighty years old and (Q)Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Exodus 6:28-7:7
American Standard Version
28 And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 that Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee. 30 And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
7 And Jehovah said unto Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 6 And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah commanded them, so did they. 7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
