And Moses told Aaron
This phrase marks a significant moment of communication and partnership. Moses, chosen by God as a leader, shares his divine mission with Aaron, his brother. The Hebrew root for "told" is "נָגַד" (nagad), which implies declaring or making known. This act of sharing is foundational in establishing trust and unity between Moses and Aaron. Historically, this partnership is crucial as Aaron becomes Moses' spokesperson, highlighting the importance of collaboration in fulfilling God's purposes.

everything the LORD had sent him to say
The phrase underscores the completeness and faithfulness of Moses in conveying God's message. The Hebrew word for "everything" is "כָּל" (kol), indicating totality. Moses does not withhold any part of God's instructions, demonstrating his obedience and the seriousness of his mission. This reflects the broader biblical principle that God's messengers are to deliver His word fully and accurately, a theme echoed throughout Scripture.

and all the signs He had commanded him to perform
Here, the focus shifts to the miraculous signs that God empowered Moses to perform. The Hebrew word for "signs" is "אוֹת" (oth), which often denotes a miraculous event or a divine token. These signs were not mere displays of power but were intended to authenticate Moses' divine commission and to persuade both the Israelites and Pharaoh of God's authority. Historically, these signs were pivotal in the narrative of the Exodus, serving as tangible evidence of God's intervention and faithfulness to His covenant people.

(28) Who had sent him.--Rather, "which he had laid upon him," ???? ?????? ??????, ??? ??????????, LXX.

All the signs, i.e., the three miracles of Exodus 4:3-9.

Verse 28. - Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord. Perfect confidence between the two brothers was absolutely necessary for the success of their enterprise; and Moses wisely, at their very first interview, made Aaron acquainted with the entire series of Divine revelations that had been made to him, keeping nothing back, but communicating to him "all the words of the Lord." Who had sent him. Rather, "which he had laid upon him." (So the LXX., the Vulgate, Knobel, Kalisch, and others.) All the signs. Compare verses 3-9 and verse 23.
