Moses

Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites,

and Aaron relayed everything the LORD had said to Moses. And Moses performed the signs before the people,

After that, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”

But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labor!”

When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.

So Moses returned to the LORD and asked, “Lord, why have You brought trouble upon this people? Is this why You sent me?

But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

So the LORD said to Moses,

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

And Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.

It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”

Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,

He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.

So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.

Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.

And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
