<p class="bodytext">Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up,<n id="1" />

Then Moses and Aaron went and brought together all the Israelite elders.<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">So the <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;See, I have made you like God<n id="1" /> to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">And Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the <sc>Lordsc> commanded them.

Now Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.p>

and the Israelites went away and did exactly as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses and Aaron.<n id="1" />p>

Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and their feet from it.

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, &#8220;Thus says the <sc>Lordsc>,<n id="2" /> the God of Israel, &#8216;Release<n id="3" /> my people so that they may hold a pilgrim feast<n id="4" /> to me in the desert.&#8217;&#8221;

The king of Egypt said to them, &#8220;Moses and Aaron, why do you cause the people to refrain from their work?<n id="1" /> Return to your labor!&#8221;

They were the men who were speaking to Pharaoh king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. It was the same Moses and Aaron.p>

You are to speak<n id="1" /> everything I command you,<n id="2" /> and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh that he must release<n id="3" /> the Israelites from his land.

<p class="bodytext">Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried<n id="1" /> to the <sc>Lordsc> because of<n id="2" /> the frogs that he had brought on<n id="3" /> Pharaoh.

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses and Aaron, &#8220;This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may<n id="2" /> share in eating it.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, &#8220;In the evening<n id="1" /> you will know that the <sc>Lordsc> has brought you out of the land of Egypt,

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">But to Moses the <sc>Lordsc><n id="2" /> said, &#8220;Come up<n id="3" /> to the <sc>Lordsc>, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from a distance.<n id="4" />

When<n id="1" /> Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, they did so, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded them &#8211; Aaron threw<n id="2" /> down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a snake.<n id="3" />

Moses and Aaron did so,<n id="1" /> just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded. Moses raised<n id="2" /> the staff<n id="3" /> and struck the water that was in the Nile right before the eyes<n id="4" /> of Pharaoh and his servants,<n id="5" /> and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.<n id="6" />

<p class="bodytext">So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and told him, &#8220;Thus says the <sc>Lordsc>, the God of the Hebrews: &#8216;How long do you refuse<n id="1" /> to humble yourself before me?<n id="2" /> Release my people so that they may serve me!

<p class="bodytext">So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the <sc>Lordsc> hardened Pharaoh&#8217;s heart, and he did not release the Israelites from his land.p>

When<n id="1" /> the hands of Moses became heavy,<n id="2" /> they took a stone and put it under him, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and one on the other,<n id="3" /> and so his hands were steady<n id="4" /> until the sun went down.
