Exodus 7:5

IsraelEgypt
God's power and sovereignty

3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”

6 So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.

7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
