10 Then the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Go, tell Pharaoh king of
Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his country.”
12 But Moses said to the Lord, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, why
would Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering lips[c]?”
13 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron about the Israelites and Pharaoh king of
Egypt, and he commanded them to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
14 These
were the heads of their families[d]:
The sons of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel were Hanok and Pallu,
Hezron and Karmi. These were the clans of Reuben.
15 The sons of Simeon were Jemuel,
Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These were
the clans of Simeon.
16 These were the names of the
sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. Levi lived
137 years.
17 The sons of Gershon, by clans,
were Libni and Shimei.
18 The sons of Kohath were Amram,
Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. Kohath lived 133 years.
19 The sons of Merari were Mahli
and Mushi.
These
were the clans of Levi according to their records.
20 Amram married his father’s
sister Jochebed, who bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.
21 The sons of Izhar were Korah,
Nepheg and Zikri.
22 The sons of Uzziel were
Mishael, Elzaphan and Sithri.
23 Aaron married Elisheba,
daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu,
Eleazar and Ithamar.
24 The sons of Korah were Assir,
Elkanah and Abiasaph. These were the Korahite clans.
25 Eleazar son of Aaron married
one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas.
These were the heads of the Levite families, clan by clan.
26 It was
this Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.” 27 They
were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing the Israelites out
of Egypt—this same Moses and Aaron.
28 Now when the Lord spoke to Moses in Egypt, 29 he said to him, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I tell you.”
30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Since I speak with faltering lips, why would
Pharaoh listen to me?”

摩西雖然不是一個自信又積極的人,但是上帝並沒有厭棄他,上帝一再對他說:「我是耶和華;我對你說的一切話,你都要告訴埃及王法老」。他總是回答:「」
若是摩西去上班,老闆要他去向客戶報告公司的業務,好獲得訂單。他若是一再的向老闆說:「看哪,我是拙口笨舌的人,客戶怎肯聽我呢?」即使他有哈佛大學的博士學位,必定會被解雇!但是,上帝不會這樣做,上帝反而讓他的哥哥亞倫幫忙他,並且讓他在哥哥面前有尊嚴!
今日上帝檢選人成為祂的僕人,不在乎才華,也不是自以為有辦法,而是願不願意遵照上帝的心意而做,然而上帝會慢慢鍛鍊這人,用他的榮耀與這個人同在,即使是一個人看來無能的人,上帝也不會厭棄的!
