I wish I could put what was on my mind into words like that.
You know when Moses was first commissioned as a Prophet/Messenger, the first thing he remembered was his brother. His brother Aeron was great at explaining things. I'm not sure if he was a Prophet according to Christians, but I think it is well known he was better at explaining things eloquently and clearly to people. Moses was really good as well, but the first thing Moses thought was, I know all these things in my heart, but I don't know how to explain them as well as my brother, so make my brother a vizier with me, that will share in my affair.
The thing is Aeron would understand everything Moses teaches to him and then be the door to that knowledge. Ali was similar in this regard to Mohammad per sayings of the Prophet as well as hinted in Quran.
Some people are better at explaining then others. This is why the Priesthood was given to Aeron and his chosen offspring I think according to the bible.
Moses can explain the truths really well, it's just he needs a good listener like Aeron. Aeron on the other hand knows how to knock sense even in people who don't try to listen.
That said, why does Moses need Aeron if God reveals words through him? It's because God is even more subtle in his speech, because, God cares more to teach good listeners and rewards them for listening, then stubborn hearts.
There is also a beauty in all that, in the literature, that makes you reflect. His words are about manifesting a personality that is exalted and high, and tries his servants with his words, to see if her lovers can see her beauty and be in reverence of her majesty.
