New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 4
¹⁰ Then Moses said to the Lord, "Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue."
¹¹ The Lord said to him, "Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
¹² Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say."
¹³ But he said, "Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will."
¹⁴ Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
¹⁵ You are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will teach you what you are to do.
¹⁶ Moreover, he shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him.
¹⁷ You shall take in your hand this staff, with which you shall perform the signs."
¹⁸ Then Moses departed and returned to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, "Please, let me go, that I may return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."
¹⁹ Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead."
²⁰ So Moses took his wife and his sons and mounted them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took the staff of God in his hand.
