Study note
Setting — Aaron and Moses address the assembled elders of Israel immediately after their descent from the mountain. Aaron delivers the divine instructions while Moses enacts the accompanying signs before the gathered community.
The words — וַיְדַבֵּר (va.y.da.ber) translates literally as "and he spoke," marking Aaron's verbal transmission of the revelation. אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים (et kol-ha.dva.rim) means "all the words," specifying the complete scope of the message delivered.
The thread — This commission fulfills the structural pattern established in Exodus 4:16 where Aaron serves as the designated mouthpiece. The sequence of verbal relay followed by public sign demonstration connects directly to the community's response recorded in Exodus 4:31.
Why it lands — The text states that Aaron communicates the full divine message and Moses performs the signs before the elders. A reader must note that prophetic authority here depends on the visible validation of the spoken word before the people.
