Exodus 4:11-16

11The LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “WhoH4310 has madeH7760 man’sH120 mouthH6310? OrH176 1whoH4310 makesH7760 him muteH483 orH176 deafH2795, orH176 seeingH6493 orH176 blindH5787? Is it not I, the LordH3068?

12NowH6258 then goH1980, and 2I, even I, will be with your mouthH6310, and 3teachH3384 you whatH834 you are to sayH1696.”

13But he saidH559, “PleaseH994, LordH136, nowH4994 4sendH7971 the message by whomever You willH7971.”

14Then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against MosesH4872, and He saidH559, “Is there not your brotherH251 AaronH175 the LeviteH3881? I knowH3045 that 5he speaksH1696 fluentlyH1696. And moreoverH1571, beholdH2009, 6he is comingH3318 out to meetH7122 you; when he seesH7200 you, he will be gladH8055 in his heartH3820.

15You are to speakH1696 to him and 7putH7760 the wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310; and I, even I, will be with your mouthH6310 and his mouthH6310, and I will teachH3384 you whatH834 you are to doH6213.

16Moreover, 8he shall speakH1696 for you to the peopleH5971; and he will be as a mouthH6310 for you and you will be as GodH430 to him.
