¹⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but ^(A)I am slow of speech and of tongue.” ¹¹ Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? ¹² Now therefore go, and ^(B)I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” ¹³ But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” ¹⁴ Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, ^(C)he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. ^15 (D)You shall speak to him and ^(E)put the words in his mouth, and ^(F)I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. ^16 (G)He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and ^(H)you shall be as God to him.

²⁷ The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness ^(A)to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the ^(B)mountain of God and kissed him. ²⁸ And Moses ^(C)told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all ^(D)the signs that he had commanded him to do. ²⁹ Then Moses and Aaron ^(E)went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. ^30 (F)Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. ³¹ And the people ^(G)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had ^(H)visited the people of Israel and that he had ^(I)seen their affliction, ^(J)they bowed their heads and worshiped.
