Bible verse
But Moses replied, “Please, Lord, send someone else.”
Exodus 4:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Exodus 4.
9 But if they do not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. Then the water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”
10 “Please, Lord,” Moses replied, “I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since You have spoken to Your servant, for I am slow of speech and tongue.”
11 And the LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Or who makes the mute or the deaf, the sighted or the blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
12 Now go! I will help you as you speak, and I will teach you what to say.”
13 But Moses replied, “Please, Lord, send someone else.”
14 Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well, and he is now on his way 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. I will help both of you to speak, and I will teach you what to do.
16 He will speak to the people for you. He will be your spokesman, and it will be as if you were God to him.
17 But take this staff in your hand so you can perform signs with it.”
