This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Exo_7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Ver. 1. And the Lord said unto Moses.] In answer to his last exception, which yet he had answered before. {Exo_4:16} God bears with our infirmities.
A god to Pharaoh.] Armed with mine authority; a vice-god.
Shall be thy prophet,] i.e., Thy spokesman, and interpreter. Aben-Ezra saith that Aaron, as he was Moses’s eldest brother, so he prophesied to the people before Moses showed himself; and hence he is sometimes set before Moses.
