But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him. And take in your hand this staff, with which you shall do the signs.”
Comment: I don’t know how real Moses complaint was – about being ‘a not very eloquent man’. I suspect that it was an overdone excuse when I consider that he was much involved in the composition of the first 5 books of the Bible! These 5 books were a very beautifully readable and excellently kept record. In addition he has later a ‘few’ speaking parts! At this God offers that Moses would be the authority behind Aaron’s speaking ability. Moses eventually causes God to get angry! So its seems as if God says ‘Go and go now! I will speak to you and not to Aaron, If you wish you can use him as a loudspeaker but you will say what I tell you and you will make it clear. Go, now, and remember the miracles that I have put in your hands!’ How did Moses feel? We are not told but he went!
Prayer: Help me to obey You, before You cross with me, Father.
As I read it!
