1 The Lord said:I am going to let your brother Aaron speak for you. He will tell your message to the king, just as a prophet speaks my message to the people.
2 Tell Aaron everything I say to you, and he will order the king to let my people leave his country.
3-4 But I will make the king so stubborn that he won't listen to you. He won't listen even when I do many terrible things to him and his nation. Then I will bring a final punishment on Egypt, and the king will let Israel's families and tribes go.
5 When this happens, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.
6 Moses and Aaron obeyed the Lord
