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 answered Moses, "I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet.

2 Tell your brother Aaron everything I command you, and he must tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave the country.

3 But I will make Pharaoh stubborn. Even though I will do many miraculous signs and amazing things in Egypt,

4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will use my power to punish Egypt severely, and I will bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt in organized family groups.

5 The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I use my power against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of there."
