4:10-17 Moses’ fourth and final protest was that he could not speak effectively.

לְפֶ֔ה
as,mouth
This phrase compares Aaron to a mouth because he will be the one to actually vocalize to the Israelites and Pharaoh what Moses tells him to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent comparison or express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one to say what you tell him to say”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
תִּֽהְיֶה־לּ֥וֹ לֵֽאלֹהִֽים
you(ms)_will_be for=him/it as,God
The word like here means Moses would represent the same authority to Aaron as God did to Moses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent comparison or express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you will speak to Aaron with the same authority with which I speak to you”
