ClVg Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce constitui te Deum Pharaonis: et Aaron frater tuus erit propheta tuus.[fn]
(And_he_said Master to Moysen: Behold constitui you(sg) God Pharaonis: and Aaron frater tuus will_be a_prophet tuus. )
7.1 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce constitui te dominum, etc. AUG. Quæst. 17 in Exod., tom 3. Notandum quod cum ad populi mitteretur, non ei dictum est: Ecce dedi te Deum populo, et frater tuus erit tuus propheta; sed, frater tuus loquetur tibi ad populum. Dictum est etiam erit os tuum, et tu illi in his quæ ad Deum; non dictum est, tu illi Deus. Pharaoni autem dicitur Moses datus deus, et secundum analogiam propheta Mosi est datus Aaron, sed ad Pharaonem. Hic insinuatur nobis ea loqui prophetas Dei quæ audiunt ab eo; nihilque aliud esse prophetam Dei, nisi enuntiatorem verborum Dei hominibus, qui Deum vel non possunt, vel non merentur audire. GREG. hom. 8 super Ezech. Aliquando Deus nuncupative, aliquando essentialiter dicitur. Nuncupative, ut hic: Constitui te deum Pharaonis. Et alibi: Applica illum ad deos. Et alibi: Deus stetit in synagoga deorum, etc. Essentialiter sicut hic: Ego sum Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, quod volens Paulus discernere ait: Ex quibus Christus secundum carnem natus est, qui est Deus benedictus in sæcula. Nuncupative enim dicitur Deus inter omnia, essentialiter autem super omnia; ut ergo ostenderet Christum naturaliter Deum, non tantum Deum, sed Deum super omnia esse memoravit. Justus enim quilibet Deus est, sed inter omnia, quia nuncupative: Christus autem super omnia, quia naturaliter Deus. AUG. Quæst. 18 in Exod. Assidue dicit Deus, etc. usque ad indurabo, id est, quam durum sit demonstrabo.
7.1 And_he_said Master to Moysen: Behold constitui you(sg) dominum, etc. AUG. Quæst. 17 in Exod., tom 3.

Dictum it_is also erit os tuum, and you illi in his which to God; not/no dictum it_is, tu illi God. Pharaoni however it_is_said Moses datus deus, and after/second analogiam a_prophet Mosi it_is datus Aaron, but to Pharaonem. Hic insinuatur us ea loqui prophetas of_God which audiunt away eo; nihilque something_else esse prophetam of_God, nisi enuntiatorem verborum of_God hominibus, who God or not/no possunt, or not/no merentur audire. GREG. hom. 8 over Ezech. Aliquando God nuncupative, aliquando essentialiter it_is_said. Nuncupative, as hic: Constitui you(sg) deum Pharaonis. And alibi: Applica him to deos. And alibi: God stetit in synagoga deorum, etc. Essentialiter like hic: I I_am God Abraham, God Isaac, and God Yacob, that volens Paulus discernere he_said: From to_whom Christus after/second carnem natus it_is, who it_is God benedictus in sæcula. Nuncupative because it_is_said God between everything, essentialiter however over omnia; as therefore ostenderet Christum naturaliter God, not/no only God, but God over everything esse memoravit. Yustus because quilibet God it_is, but between everything, because nuncupative: Christus however over everything, because naturaliter God. AUG. Quæst. 18 in Exod. Assidue dicit God, etc. usque to indurabo, id it_is, how durum let_it_be demonstrabo.
7:1-7 In this final scene in the offer of rescue, the Lord once again answered Moses’ fears of not being able to speak eloquently. He would allow Moses to speak through Aaron (see 4:16), but Pharaoh will refuse to listen regardless. God’s power, not Moses’ eloquence, was the important factor. Moses and Aaron then took the step of faith and did what God had commanded. The first crisis (see study note on 5:22-23) had passed.

Mosheh
After this phrase, a direct quote begins that continues to the end of 7:5. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with an opening first-level quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the beginning of a quotation. There may be other quotations in this chapter; they will be marked by the same punctuation, but they will not have their own notes unless there is something unique about them.

This is used to draw attention to surprising information that follows. Alternative translation: “Listen carefully”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נְתַתִּ֥יךָ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לְפַרְעֹ֑ה
made,you ʼElohīm to,Pharaoh
This means Moses would represent the same authority to Pharaoh as God did to Moses. See how you translated the very similar phrase in Exodus 4:16. Alternate translation: “I will cause Pharaoh to consider you as a god”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְאַהֲרֹ֥ן אָחִ֖יךָ יִהְיֶ֥ה נְבִיאֶֽךָ
and,Aaron your(ms)=brother/kindred will_belong prophet,your
This phrase compares Aaron to a prophet, because Aaron will actually be the one who proclaims to Pharaoh what Moses tells him. See how you translated a similar phrase in Exodus 4:16. Alternate translation: “and Aaron your brother will act like your prophet”
