1. The Lord said to Moses, “See how important I have made you? In speaking to Pharaoh, you will be like God, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2. You will tell Aaron everything that I command you. Then he will tell the king what I say. And Pharaoh will let the Israelites leave this country.
3. But I will make Pharaoh stubborn so that he will not do what you tell him. Then I will do many miracles in Egypt to prove who I am.
4. But he will still refuse to listen. So then I will punish Egypt very much. And I will lead my army, my people, out of that land.
5. I will punish the people of Egypt, and they will learn that I am the Lord. Then I will lead my people out of their country.”
6. Moses and Aaron did what the Lord told them.
