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 an indefinite accusative role noun predicated of Aaron. Moses identifies Aaron as more eloquent, asks that he be sent alongside him, and states the supporter's function as confirming him before those he fears will deny him.
