Exodus 4:10–17

Moses said: I beseech thee, Lord, I am not eloquent from yesterday and the day before; and since thou hast spoken to thy servant, I have more impediment and slowness of tongue. 11The Lord said to him: Who made man's mouth? or who made the dumb and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? did not I? 12Go therefore, and I will be in thy mouth; and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak. 13But he said: I beseech thee, Lord, send whom thou wilt send. 14The Lord being angry at Moses, said: Aaron the Levite is thy brother, I know that he is eloquent: behold he cometh forth to meet thee, and seeing thee, shall be glad at heart. 15Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy mouth, and in his month, and will shew you what you must do. 16He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God. 17And take this rod in thy hand. wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
