The beginning of Mechilta of R. Yishmael says that in three places we cannot say that Hashem spoke only to Moshe (for it says "to Aharon"). Moshav Zekenim (3)

Gur Aryeh (in Pasuk 3): Even though only Moshe heard, Hashem spoke in the second person, as if He was speaking to Aharon as a mark of esteem towards Aharon.

2.

Rashi (in 1:1) cited the Sifra that in thirteen places it says 'Vayedaber Hashem el Moshe ve'el Aharon', corresponding to which thirteen exclusions imply that He spoke to Moshe alone.
