Context of Exodus 7:5
3But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and although I will multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt, 4Pharaoh will not listen to you. I will reach into Egypt and bring out my regiments, my people the Israelites, from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment. Then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I extend my hand over Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them. 6And Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. 7Now Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
