"'Lord,' said Moses, 'put courage into my heart, and do not beset my task with hardships. Free my tongue from its impediment, that men may understand my speech. Appoint for me a counselor from among my kinsmen, Aaron my brother. Grant me strength through him and let him share my task, so that we may give glory to You and remember You always. You are surely watching over us.' He replied: 'Your request is granted, Moses. We had already shown you favor when We revealed Our will to your mother, saying: "Put your child in the ark and let him be carried away by the river. The river will cast him on to the bank, and he shall be taken up by an enemy of Mine and his." I lavished My love on you, so that you might be reared under My watchful eye.'"
