14 Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses, and He said, “Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that [a]he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, (A)he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be [b]overjoyed. 15 So you are to speak to him and (B)put the words in his mouth; and I Myself will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you are to do. 16 (C)He shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him. 17 And you shall take in your hand (D)this staff, (E)with which you shall perform the signs.”
