Exodus 4:10-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “But Lord, I am not a skilled speaker. I have never been able to speak well. And now, even after talking to you, I am not a good speaker. I speak slowly and can’t find the best words.”

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

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

¹⁴ The Lord became angry with Moses. He 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 I will tell you what to say. Then you will tell Aaron. I will help both of you know what to say and do. ¹⁶ And Aaron will speak to the people for you. You will tell him what God says. And he will speak for you.
