Chasidut do Wyjścia 6:13
וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָה֮ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן֒ וַיְצַוֵּם֙ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶל־פַּרְעֹ֖ה מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרָ֑יִם לְהוֹצִ֥יא אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ (ס)
I rzekł Wiekuisty do Mojżesza i do Ahrona, i dał im zlecenie do synów Israela i do Faraona króla Micraimu, aby wyprowadzić synów Israela z ziemi Micraim.

Exodus 6,13., “He commanded them to the Children of Israel and to Pharaoh the King of Egypt, etc.” The reason why Moses’ and Aaron’s mission here is portrayed as a “dual” mission, i.e. to the Children of Israel and to Pharaoh the King of Egypt, is that there are two types of צדיקים righteous people each of whom try to guide the people by remonstrating with them to follow in the ways of the Lord. The first type of צדיק relies primarily on his eloquence in delivering inspiring words to the people. He does not need to give reasons for the need to keep the laws of the Torah. In this tzaddik’s opinion, telling the people which is the right path to pursue in serving G’d is sufficient to achieve the desired result. The second category of tzaddik is not so confident of his eloquence, and endeavors to demonstrate why the way of the Torah is the only way to serve the Lord. In our verse above we find both of these types of tzaddikim addressed by G’d, when the Torah commands the eloquent messenger of G’d Aaron, to deliver his rousing speeches, and Moses, the messenger suffering from a speech defect, to do what he knew how to do best, to prove to the people why it was in their interest to listen to G’d’s commandments as conveyed by him. Both Aaron and Moses were intent on convincing the people that the all-powerful and totally self sufficient G’d nonetheless enjoys the prayers of the Jewish people and responds to their service positively. They were to explain that it was these prayers that opened the gates of G’d’s treasure chambers that contained the material blessing needed for successful life in the lower regions of the universe.
