Exodus 7:1-7

Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh

1 And the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have made you like o God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your p prophet. 2 q 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 r I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I s 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 t 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 u eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
