Exodus 4:10-17

10Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “PleaseH994, LordH136, 1I have neverH3808 been 2eloquentH376H1697, neitherH1571 3recentlyH4480H8543 norH1571 in timeH8032 pastH8032, norH1571 sinceH3975 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650; for I am 4slowH3515 of speechH6310 and 5slowH3515 of tongueH3956.” 11But the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “WhoH4310 has madeH7760 the humanH120 mouthH6310? OrH176 6whoH4310 makesH7760 anyone unableH483 toH483 speakH483 orH176 deafH2795, orH176 ableH6493 toH6493 seeH6493 orH176 blindH5787? Is it not I, the LordH3068? 12NowH6258 then goH1980, and 7I MyselfH595 will be with your mouthH6310, and 8instructH3384 you in whatH834 you are to sayH1696.” 13But he saidH559, “PleaseH994, LordH136, nowH4994 sendH7971 the message by 9whomever 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 10he speaksH1696 fluentlyH1696. And moreoverH1571, beholdH2009, 11he is comingH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 you; when he seesH7200 you, he will be 12overjoyedH8055H3820. 15So you are to speakH1696 to him and 13putH7760 the wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310; and I MyselfH595 will be with your mouthH6310 and his mouthH6310, and I will instructH3384 you in whatH834 you are to doH6213. 1614He shall speakH1696 for you to the peopleH5971; and he will be as a mouthH6310 for you and you will be as GodH430 to him. 17And you shall takeH3947 in your handH3027 15thisH2088 staffH4294, 16with whichH834 you shall performH6213 the signsH226.”
