In Sh'mot 3 and 4, God instructs Moshe to speak (variously) to both Paro and the people. Moshe then objects that he is not a good speaker, and in Shemot 4:15-16 God says to use Aharon, literally that Aharon will be his פֶ֔ה, mouth.
Was this just for when they were in Mitzrayim, or was it a longer-term arrangement? My mental image of Moshe speaking to the people at (and after) Har Sinai is of him speaking, not of Aharon relaying his words, and using an interpreter for almost all of Sefer D'varim seems especially challenging. But maybe my mental image is wrong; I don't know where I got it.
When, if ever, did Moshe start speaking directly instead of through Aharon?
