SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:13

Y él dijo: ¡Ruego Señor! Envía por mano del que has de enviar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 4:13

Verse 13. Send-by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.] Many commentators, both ancient and modern, have thought that Moses
prays here for the immediate mission of the Messiah; as if he had said: "Lord, thou hast purposed to send this glorious person at some time or other, I beseech thee send him now, for who can be sufficient to deliver and rule this people but himself alone?" The Hebrew jlt dyb an jl shelach na beyad tishlach literally translated is, Send now (or, I beseech thee) by the hand thou wilt send; which seems to intimate, Send a person more fit for the work than I am. So the Septuagint: proceirisai dunamenon allon, on aposteleiv? Elect another powerful person, whom thou wilt send. It is right to find out the Messiah wherever he is mentioned in the Old Testament; but to press scriptures into this service which have not an obvious tendency that way, is both improper and dangerous. I am firmly of opinion that Moses had no reference to the Messiah when he spoke these words.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-17 - Moses continued backward to the work
God designed him for; there wa much of cowardice, slothfulness, and unbelief in him. We must not judg of men by the readiness of their discourse. A great deal of wisdom an true worth may be with a slow tongue. God sometimes makes choice of those as his messengers, who have the least of the advantages of art of nature, that his grace in them may appear the more glorious. Christ' disciples were no orators, till the Holy Spirit made them such. God condescends to answer the excuse of Moses. Even self-diffidence, when it hinders us from duty, or clogs us in duty, is very displeasing to the Lord. But while we blame Moses for shrinking from this dangerou service, let us ask our own hearts if we are not neglecting duties mor easy, and less perilous. The tongue of Aaron, with the head and hear of Moses, would make one completely fit for this errand. God promises I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth. Even Aaron, who coul speak well, yet could not speak to purpose, unless God gave constan teaching and help; for without the constant aid of Divine grace, the best gifts will fail.
