Exodus 7:2 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

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.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

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

This occurs as God prepares Moses and Aaron for their mission to free the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. Moses had expressed concerns about his speaking ability, so God appointed Aaron as his spokesman. This division of labor - Moses receiving divine messages and Aaron delivering them - would be crucial in the upcoming confrontations with Pharaoh.
