And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Ver. 10. I am not eloquent.] Heb., A man of words, a master of speech - ηγουμενος λογου - as Paul was. Act 14:12 He had not that first, second, and third of an orator, - elocution, or pronunciation. And yet God made choice of him rather than of eloquent Aaron to pray. Exo 17:12 Not gifts but graces prevail in prayer.
Slow of speech.] Of a letsom delivery; wordbound.
