Exodus 4:10-17

New Century Version

¹⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I have never been a skilled speaker. Even now, after talking to you, I cannot speak well. I speak slowly and can’t find the best words.”

¹¹ Then the Lord said to him, “Who made a person’s mouth? And who makes someone deaf or not able to speak? Or who gives a person sight or blindness? It is I, the Lord. ¹² Now go! I will help you speak, and I will teach you what to say.”

¹³ But Moses said, “Please, Lord, send someone else.”

¹⁴ The Lord became angry with Moses and said, “Your brother Aaron, from the family of Levi, is a skilled speaker. He is already coming to meet you, and he will be happy when he sees you. ¹⁵ You will speak to Aaron and tell him what to say. I will help both of you to speak and will teach you what to do. ¹⁶ Aaron will speak to the people for you. You will tell him what God says, and he will speak for you. ¹⁷ Take your walking stick with you, and use it to do the miracles.”
