Exodus Chapter 4, Verse 16
From BibleWiki
16: And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall
be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou
shalt be to him instead of God.
16: And he shall speak for thee to the people, and he shall be thy mouth, and thou shalt be for him in things pertaining to God.
"He will be mouth to thee, and thou shalt be God to him." Cf. Ex 7:1, "Thy brother Aaron shall be thy prophet." Aaron would stand in the same relation to Moses, as a prophet to God: the prophet only spoke what God inspired him with, and Moses should be the inspiring God to him. The Targum softens down the word "God" into "master, teacher." Moses was called God, as being the possessor and medium of the divine word. As Luther explains it, "Whoever possesses and believes the word of God, possesses the Spirit and power of God, and also the divine wisdom, truth, heart, mind, and everything that belongs to God."
