Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. v.7
Read chapter 7
They both had already lived a lifetime before they event started their principle work that God called them to. And even from this age and beginning they both live another forty years (Numbers 33:38-39). What a team these brothers are. As God tells them in verse one of this chapter that Moses will be as God to Pharaoh and Aaron as his prophet. A prophet is the "mouth" of the one who sent him, just as Moses was the prophet or mouth of God to the Israelites. We see these brothers obedience to the Lord together and also when they don't obey- yet seeing their accountability toward one another even when it gets tough. Through both of them God displays himself so that Pharaoh and all Egypt will know that I AM is God. Later the priestly line through Aaron is how God speaks. So don't let age be a factor to doubt God using you no matter how young or old you are. And find that "brother" or "sister" to live a godly life with for God's glory, remembering your'e both sinners saved by grace.
