1. And the Lord said to Moses: "Behold, I have appointed you as the god of Pharaoh. And Aaron, your brother, will be your prophet.
2. You will speak to him all that I command you. And he will speak to Pharaoh, so that he may release the sons of Israel from his land.
3. But I will harden his heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4. and he will not listen to you. And I will send my hand over Egypt, and I will lead my army and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt, through very great judgments.
5. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, who has extended my hand over Egypt, and who has led the sons of Israel from their midst."
