Exodus 4:10-17
New King James Version
10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but (A)I am slow of speech and [a]slow of tongue.”
11 So the Lord said to him, (B)“Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord? 12 Now therefore, go, and I will be (C)with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.”
13 But he said, “O my Lord, (D)please send by the hand of whomever else You may send.”
14 So (E)the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: “Is not Aaron the Levite your (F)brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, (G)he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 Now (H)you shall speak to him and (I)put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and (J)I will teach you what you shall do. 16 So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and (K)you shall be to him as God. 17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”

Exodus 4:10-17
Lexham English Bible
10 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Please, Lord, I am not a man of words, neither recently nor in the past nor since your speaking[a] to your servant, because I am heavy of mouth and of tongue.” 11 And Yahweh said to him, “Who gave a mouth to humankind, or who makes mute or deaf or sighted or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh? 12 So then go, and I myself will be with your mouth, and I will teach you what you must speak.” 13 And he said, “Please, Lord, do send anyone else whom you wish to send.”[b] 14 And Yahweh was angry with[c] Moses and said, “Is there not Aaron your brother the Levite? I know that he certainly can speak, and also there he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will rejoice in his heart. 15 And you will speak to him, and you will put words in his mouth, and I myself will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you must do. 16 And he will speak for you to the people, and then[d] he will be to you as a mouth, and you will be to him as a god. 17 And you must take this staff in your hand, with which you will do the signs.”
