Exodus 6:29

MosesPharaohEgypt

27 Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

28 Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,

He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

30 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
