1
Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2
You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country.
3
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt,
4
he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites.
5
And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”
6
Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD commanded them.

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