Contextual Overview

10Then Moses said to Yahweh, "Please, Lord, I have never been a man of words, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your slave; for I am one with a hard mouth and a hard tongue." 11And Yahweh said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh? 12So now, go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth and will instruct you what you shall speak." 13But he said, "Please, Lord, send now the message by whomever You will." 14Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he can certainly speak. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you. And he will see you and be glad in his heart. 15And you are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do. 16Moreover, he shall speak for you to the people; and he will become as a mouth for you, and you will become as God to him. 17And you shall take in your hand this staff, with which you shall do the signs."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth,.... Or "things" z, the matter and substance of what he should say, who being a man of words, an eloquent man, and a good spokesman, would put them into proper language, and express them fluently:

and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do; or speak what Moses should say to Aaron, and what Aaron should say to Pharaoh, and to the people of Israel; so that as Aaron was under Moses, and at his direction, they were both dependent on the Lord, and under his direction; and the one, as well as the other, needed his assistance, even Aaron that could speak well. Moses furnished him with matter, he put it into words, and both were instructed and influenced by the Lord what they should say and do.

z את הדברים.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt speak - Moses thus retains his position as “mediator;” the word comes to him first, he transmits it to his brother.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 4:15. I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth — Ye shall be both, in all things which I appoint you to do in this business, under the continual inspiration of the Most High.
