Verses 6-7
"And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old when they spake unto Pharaoh."
The perfect obedience of Moses and Aaron should be noted. It applied not merely to the first interview about to be related but extended throughout the subsequent chapters.
The mention of the ages of Moses and Aaron here has puzzled some, but it appears to have been inserted for the purpose of demonstrating that the deliverance was far more of God than of men. Both Moses and Aaron were past the age when such exploits could have been undertaken by men, with any reason, without supernatural endowment. We cannot allow any questioning of the ages here given. They are confirmed by Stephen (Acts 7:23,30), and by Moses himself in Deuteronomy 31:2 and Deuteronomy 34:7.
