Exodus 4:14-19 New English Translation (NET)

14. Then the Lord became angry with Moses, and he said, “What about your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he can speak very well. Moreover, he is coming to meet you, and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

15. “So you are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And as for me, I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you both what you must do.

16. He will speak for you to the people, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were his God.

17. You will also take in your hand this staff, with which you will do the signs.”

18. So Moses went back to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, “Let me go, so that I may return to my relatives in Egypt and see if they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”

19. The Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, because all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”
