28:34

وَأَخِى هَٰرُونُ هُوَ أَفْصَحُ مِنِّى لِسَانًا فَأَرْسِلْهُ مَعِىَ رِدْءًا يُصَدِّقُنِىٓ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is a masculine singular elative followed by the comparison مِنِّى and the specification لِسَانًا. Moses uses Aaron's greater verbal ability as the reason to send him as a confirming supporter, fixing the quality as clear and effective speech.
