Exodus 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 7:2

Thou shalt speak all that I command thee
That is, to Aaron his prophet, whatever the Lord made known to him in a private manner as his will to be done: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh;
whatsoever should be told him by Moses, as from the Lord: that he send the children of Israel out of his land;
this was the principal thing to be insisted upon; and all that was said or done to him was to bring about this end, the dismission of the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Exodus 7:2 In-Context

1 God told Moses, "Look at me. I'll make you as a god to Pharaoh and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 You are to speak everything I command you, and your brother Aaron will tell it to Pharaoh. Then he will release the Israelites from his land.
3 At the same time I am going to put Pharaoh's back up and follow it up by filling Egypt with signs and wonders.
4 Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, but I will have my way against Egypt and bring out my soldiers, my people the Israelites, from Egypt by mighty acts of judgment.
5 The Egyptians will realize that I am God when I step in and take the Israelites out of their country."
