"an excellent speaker"
I am slow of speech and slow of tongue
The phrases "slow of speech" and "slow of tongue" mean basically the same thing. Moses uses them to emphasize that that he is not a good speaker. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
Who is it who made man’s mouth? Who makes a man mute or deaf or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?
By these questions Yahweh presses his point that he is the Creator, and he is the one who makes a person able to do something or not able to do something. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
and I will be with your mouth
This means that God will give Moses the right words to speak at the right time. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
