Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "^(C1)I am the LORD; ^(C2)say to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you."

But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am ^(F1)(C1)unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?"

Then the LORD said to Moses, "^(C1)See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.

"As for you, you shall speak all that I command you, and your brother ^(C1)Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

"But ^(C1)I will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that I may ^(C2)multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.

"When ^(C1)Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and ^(C2)bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by ^(C3)great judgments.

"Then ^(C1)the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I ^(C2)extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst."

So Moses and Aaron did this; ^(C1)as the LORD commanded them, so they did.

And Moses was ^(C1)eighty years old and Aaron ^(F1)eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
