“Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.”
You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. The same charge given in 6:29 — say everything I tell you — is here distributed across the partnership: Moses receives, Aaron delivers. The chain of transmission is clean: God to Moses to Aaron to Pharaoh. Nothing is to be filtered, softened, or embellished. 2 Timothy 4:2 tells Timothy to preach the word in season and out of season — the same charge of complete and faithful transmission regardless of reception. Moses' history of objection has not changed the content of what he is being asked to carry. The message is what it always was: let my people go. The partnership is now fully operational, and the plagues are about to begin.
