Study note
Setting — Moses addresses Aaron at the mountain of God immediately after their meeting, reporting the divine commission and miraculous signs he received.
The words — וַיְגַד (va.yi.gad) translates literally as "and he told," while דִּבְרֵי (div.rei) means "words of," anchoring the verse in Moses' direct verbal relay of Yahweh's instructions.
The thread — This immediate reporting of a divinely given message mirrors the command in Jonah 3:2 to proclaim exactly what God provides, and it fulfills the sign-giving mandate outlined in Exodus 4:8.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to observe Moses' precise obedience in transmitting Yahweh's exact words and signs to Aaron before they proceed to the elders.
