According to scripture, Moses had a speech impediment. Some scholars believe that Adonai chose a leader with a handicap to prove that nobody, especially a leader, requires perfection. Others argue that all the other Israelites had even worse speech impediments. And still others hold that Moses just had a slight lisp you could barely notice and it was no big deal.

Which group of scholars do you think is the most fun at parties?

Mitchell, now please read this in a lisp and have Breta correct you how to not lisp:

"You shall not steal, nor deal falsely."
