12 So go. I will be with you when you speak. I will give you the words to say.”
13 But Moses said, “My Lord, I beg you to send someone else, not me.”
14 Then the Lord became angry with Moses and said, “All right! I’ll give you someone to help you. Aaron the Levite is your brother, isn’t he? He is a good speaker. In fact, Aaron is already coming to meet you, and he will be happy to see you.
15 I will tell you what to say. Then you will tell Aaron, and I will help him say it well. I will tell both of you what to do.
16 So Aaron will speak for you. Like God, you will speak to him, and he will tell the people what you say.
17 So go and carry your walking stick with you. Use it and the other miracles to show the people that I am with you.”
18 Then Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law. Moses said to him, “Please let me go back to Egypt. I want to see if my people are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
