14} Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses, and He said, “Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that ^(a)he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, ^(A)he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. ^{Tools
15} You are to speak to him and ^(B)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. ^{Tools
16} Moreover, ^(C)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. ^{Tools
