10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but gI am slow of speech and 2slow of tongue.”

11 So the Lord said to him, h“Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord? 12 Now therefore, go, and I will be iwith your mouth and teach you what you shall say.”

13 But he said, “O my Lord, jplease send by the hand of whomever else You may send.”

14 So kthe anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: “Is not Aaron the Levite your lbrother? I know that he can speak well. And look, mhe is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 Now nyou shall speak to him and oput the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and pI will teach you what you shall do. 16 So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and qyou shall be to him as God. 17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”
