ABSTRACT

In the book of Exodus, Moses makes a statement with which I identify. Responding to God’s call, he says: “I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in the past, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” The text continues, “And the Lord said to him, ‘Who has made man’s mouth? Or, who makes him dumb or deaf or seeing or blind, is it not I, the Lord? Now then go, and I, even I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say” (Exodus 4: 10, 11).
