God’s call of Moses is recorded for us in Exodus chapter 3 and the first half of chapter 4. Chapter 3 shows us the burning bush, God’s declaration that He has heard the groaning of the people of Israel, the revelation of the Memorial Name of the Almighty (YHWH), and the command that Moses confront Pharaoh with God’s demand for Israel’s release. Then chapter 4, verses 1-17, seems to present to us a string of excuses made by Moses, trying to evade the command. First, the Israelites won’t believe him. God’s answer: three miracles he can do to convince them. Second, he isn’t eloquent, doesn’t speak well. God’s answer: God made man’s mouth, eyes and ears, and He can be in Moses’s mouth and teach him to speak.
