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 The LORD said to Moses, "See, I've made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 You will say everything that I command you, and your brother Aaron will tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites out of his land.
3 But I'll make Pharaoh stubborn, and I'll perform many of my signs and amazing acts in the land of Egypt.
4 When Pharaoh refuses to listen to you, then I'll act against Egypt and I'll bring my people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt in military formation by momentous events of justice.
5 The Egyptians will come to know that I am the LORD, when I act against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them."
