God sent Aaron to help Moses because Moses continually expressed fear and reluctance to speak before Pharaoh and the Israelites. Although God promised to be with Moses’ mouth and teach him what to say, Moses pleaded for someone else to take the role of spokesman.
Exodus 4:13–14 says:
“But he said, ‘O my Lord, please send by the hand of whomever else You may send.’ So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: ‘Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.’”
Aaron was chosen because of his ability to speak clearly and confidently. God allowed Aaron to serve as Moses’ mouthpiece:
“So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God.” (Exodus 4:16)
This arrangement did not remove Moses’ responsibility as leader; rather, it showed God’s patience in accommodating Moses’ weakness while still accomplishing His purpose. Aaron’s involvement also demons/”>demonstrates God’s willingness to provide help when His servants feel inadequate.
However, this partnership foreshadows both blessing and challenge. While Aaron assisted Moses, he later participated in the sin of making the golden calf (Exodus 32). This reminds us that human helpers are imperfect, and our ultimate confidence must rest in God alone.
God sending Aaron emphasizes that His mission is not hindered by human frailty. He equips His servants and provides resources to ensure that His will is fulfilled.
