Exodus 7:6 Summary
[This verse shows us that Moses and Aaron trusted and obeyed God, even when it was hard. They did exactly what God told them to do, just like we're called to do in Romans 12:2. By obeying God, they were able to see His power and plan unfold, and we can experience the same thing in our own lives when we choose to follow Him. As we read in Joshua 1:8, meditating on God's Word and obeying His commands leads to success and prosperity.]

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 7:6
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them,.... After this they never showed any reluctance, or made any objection to any message they were sent with, or any work they were ordered to do, but
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 7:6
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 7:6
An emphatical repetition, to show their courage in attempting to say and do such things to so great a monarch in his own dominions, and their fidelity in the execution of all God’ s commands.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 7:6
Exodus 7:6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.Ver. 6. Did as the Lord commanded them.] Mallem obedire, quam miracula facere, saith Luther. Their obedience yielded them more comfort than their working of wonders.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 7:6
(6) Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them.—The reluctance and resistance of Moses from this time ceased. He subdued his own will to God’s, and gained the praise of being “faithful as a servant in all his house” (Hebrews 3:5). Aaron’s obedience continued until Sinai was reached, but there failed before the frenzy of the people (Exodus 32:1-6).
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 7:6
6. A summary statement that Moses and Aaron carried out these instructions. The verse is anticipatory: the details follow in Exodus 7:8 ff. The type of sentence is one characteristic of P: cf.
