Exodus 4:10-17

Moses' Second Objection: Aaron Appointed Spokesman

10
But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue.
11
Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?
12
Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
13
But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
14
Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
15
Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.
16
And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.
17
Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
