1 So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you ^aas God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be ^byour prophet.  ‡

2 You ^ashall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land.  ‡

3 And ^aI will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and ^bmultiply My ^csigns and My wonders in the land of Egypt.  ‡

4 But ^aPharaoh will not heed you, so ^bthat I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My¹ armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt ^cby great judgments.  ‡

5 And the Egyptians ^ashall know that I am the Lord, when I ^bstretch out My hand on Egypt and ^cbring out the children of Israel from among them.”  ‡

6 Then Moses and Aaron ^adid so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did.  ‡
