Exodus 4:10–17

¹⁰And Moses saith unto Jehovah, ‘O, my Lord, I am not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Thy speaking unto Thy servant, for I am slow of mouth, and slow of tongue.’ ¹¹And Jehovah saith unto him, ‘Who appointed a mouth for man? or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah? ¹²and now, go, and I—I am with thy mouth, and have directed thee that which thou speakest;’ ¹³and he saith, ‘O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.’ ¹⁴And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He saith, ‘Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee; when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart, ¹⁵and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in his mouth, and I—I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which ye do; ¹⁶and he, he hath spoken for thee unto the people, and it hath come to pass, he—he is to thee for a mouth, and thou—thou art to him for God; ¹⁷and this rod thou dost take in thy hand, with which thou doest the signs.’
