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

The people kept<n id="1" /> their distance, but Moses drew near the thick darkness<n id="2" /> where God was.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the <sc>Lordsc> said, &#8220;Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.&#8221;<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">So Joshua fought against Amalek just as Moses had instructed him;<n id="1" />and Moses and Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

<p class="bodytext">Moses<n id="1" /> went up to God, and the <sc>Lordsc> called to him from the mountain, &#8220;Thus you will tell the house of Jacob, and declare to the people<n id="2" /> of Israel:

<p class="bodytext">Now Moses<n id="1" /> was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert<n id="2" /> and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.<n id="3" />

<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>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Moses took<n id="2" /> the tent<n id="3" /> and pitched it outside the camp, at a good distance<n id="4" /> from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. Anyone<n id="5" /> seeking<n id="6" /> the <sc>Lordsc> would go out to the tent of meeting that was outside the camp.p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Now when Moses came down<n id="2" /> from Mount Sinai with<n id="3" /> the two tablets of the testimony in his hand<n id="4" /> &#8211; when he came down<n id="5" /> from the mountain, Moses<n id="6" /> did not know that the skin of his face shone<n id="7" /> while he talked with him.
