In context
10 And Moses said unto Yahweh—Pardon, O My Lord! not a man of words, am I, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant,—for heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue, I am.
11 Then Yahweh said unto him—Who appointed a mouth for man, or who appointeth him to be dumb, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh,?
12 Now, therefore go,—and, I, will be with thy mouth, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.
13 And he said—Pardon, O My Lord! send, I pray thee by the hand of him whom thou wilt send—
14 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said—Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he, can speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice in his heart.
15 Then shalt thou speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth,—and, I, will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, so will I direct you what ye shall do.
16 And, he, shall speak for thee unto the people,—so shall it come to pass that he shall become thy mouth, and thou shalt become to him as God.
