And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
The LORD became angry with Moses and said, 'What about Aaron the Levite, your brother? I know he speaks well. Look, he's coming to meet you, and when he sees you, he'll be happy in his heart.'
God is addressing Moses' continued reluctance to lead by offering his brother Aaron as a speaking partner, though God shows some frustration with Moses' hesitation.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush, where God was calling Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses had repeatedly made excuses about his inability to speak well and lead the people. God's anger here reflects His patience wearing thin with Moses' continued resistance to the divine calling.
