Exodus 4:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

O my Lord, I am not eloquent He was a great philosopher, statesman, and divine, and yet no orator; a man of a clear head, great thought, and solid judgment, but had not a voluble tongue, nor ready utterance; and therefore he thought himself unfit to speak before great men and about great affairs. Moses was mighty in word, (Acts 7:21,) and yet not eloquent; what he said was strong and nervous, and to the purpose, and distilled as the dew, (Deuteronomy 32:2,) though he did not deliver himself with that readiness, ease, and fineness that some do.

Exodus 4:10

10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent,a neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
