1 The LORD said, "I am going to make you like God to the king, and your brother Aaron will speak to him as your prophet. 2 Tell Aaron everything I command you, and he will tell the king to let the Israelites leave his country. 3-4 But I will make tthe king stubborn, and he will not listen to you, no matter how many terrifying things I do in Egypt. Then I will bring severe punishment on Egypt and lead the tribes of my people out of the land. 5 The Egyptians will them know that I am the LORD, when I raise my hand against them and bring thye Israelites out of their country." 6 Moses and Aaron did what the LORD commanded. 7 At the time when they spoke to the king, Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three.
