Contextual Overview

10 Moses said to the Lord, "Lord, I am not a man of words. I have never been. Even now since You spoke to Your servant, I still am not. For I am slow in talking and it is difficult for me to speak." 11 Then the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes a man not able to speak or hear? Who makes one blind or able to see? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 So go now. And I will be with your mouth. I will teach you what to say." 13 But Moses said, "O Lord, I ask of You, send some other person." 14 Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses. He said, "Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know he can speak well. Also, he is coming to meet you. And when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 You must speak to him and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth and his mouth. I will teach you what you are to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you. He will be a mouth for you. And you will be as God to him. 17 You will take this special stick in your hand. And you will use it to make the special things happen for the people to see."

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.

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.
