Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
You will say everything I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron will speak to Pharaoh, telling him to let the Israelites leave his country.
God is giving Moses and Aaron their specific roles in confronting Pharaoh - Moses will receive God's words, and Aaron will be the spokesperson to demand Israel's freedom.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, God has just appeared to Moses at the burning bush and commissioned him to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, despite Moses' initial reluctance and sense of inadequacy. God instructs Moses to relay His messages exactly as given, with Aaron serving as Moses' spokesman to Pharaoh, highlighting God's provision for human weaknesses in fulfilling divine plans. This occurs during a time when the Israelites had been enslaved in Egypt for generations, setting the foundation for the miraculous events that would follow, including the plagues.
