1. The Lord answered Moses, “I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet.
2. Tell your brother Aaron everything I command you, and he must tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave the country.
3. But I will make Pharaoh stubborn. Even though I will do many miraculous signs and amazing things in Egypt,
4. Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will use my power to punish Egypt severely, and I will bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt in organized family groups.
5. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I use my power against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of there.”
6. Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded them.
