Exodus 4:12-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.

21. The Lord said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
