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, "I have made you like God to the king of Egypt, and your brother Aaron will be like a prophet for you.

2 Tell Aaron your brother everything that I command you, and let him tell the king of Egypt to let the Israelites leave his country.

3 But I will make the king stubborn. I will do many miracles in Egypt,

4 but he will still refuse to listen. So then I will punish Egypt terribly, and I will lead my divisions, my people the Israelites, out of that land.

5 I will punish Egypt with my power, and I will bring the Israelites out of that land. Then they will know I am the Lord."
