Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Aaron spake all the words - It is likely that Aaron was better acquainted with the Hebrew tongue than his brother, and on this account he became the spokesman. See Clarke on Exodus 4:14 (note).
Did the signs - Turned the rod into a serpent, made the hand leprous, and changed the water into blood. See Clarke on Exodus 4:6 (note) and Exodus 4:8 (note).

And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses,.... As Moses had related to him, being his mouth and spokesman:
and did the signs in the sight of the people; not Aaron, but Moses, and these were the turning of his rod into a serpent, and the serpent into a rod again; putting his hand into and out of his bosom, when it was leprous, and then doing the same when it was well again; and taking water out of the river, and changing it into blood, which he did for the confirmation of his mission.
