1. The Lord said to Moses, “I have made you like God to the king of Egypt, and your brother Aaron will be like a prophet for you.
2. Tell Aaron your brother everything that I command you, and let him tell the king of Egypt to let the Israelites leave his country.
3. But I will make the king stubborn. I will do many miracles in Egypt,
4. but he will still refuse to listen. So then I will punish Egypt terribly, and I will lead my divisions, my people the Israelites, out of that land.
5. I will punish Egypt with my power, and I will bring the Israelites out of that land. Then they will know I am the Lord.”
