New Testament

Exodus 4:6-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. The Lord said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand into your bosom.” He put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, his hand was as leprous as snow.

7. He said, “Put your hand into your bosom again.” So he put his hand into his bosom again and brought it out of his bosom, and it was restored like his other flesh.

8. “If they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, then they may believe the voice of the latter sign.

9. But if they will not believe also these two signs or listen to your voice, then you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land, and the water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”

10. Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant. But I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”

11. The Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who made the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?

12. Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you must say.”

13. He said, “O my Lord, send, I pray, by the hand of whomever else You will send.”

14. The anger of the Lord was inflamed against Moses, and He said, “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, he comes out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15. 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 what you must do.

16. What’s more, he will be your spokesman to the people, and he will be as a mouth for you, and you will be as God to him.
