... and to whom the Lord said, "I am Jehovah. Go in and give Pharaoh the message I have given you."

This is that Moses who argued with the Lord, "I can't do it; I'm no speaker--why should Pharaoh listen to me?"

Then the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have appointed you as my ambassador to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your spokesman. Tell Aaron everything I say to you, and he will announce it to Pharaoh, demanding that the people of Israel be allowed to leave Egypt. But I will cause Pharaoh to stubbornly refuse, and I will multiply my miracles in the land of Egypt. Yet even then Pharaoh won't listen to you; so I will crush Egypt with a final major disaster and then lead my people out. The Egyptians will find out that I am indeed God when I show them my power and force them to let my people go."

So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three at this time of their confrontation with Pharaoh.
