"How could the adon haneviim stutter? The Rambam (Mamrim 7:2) writes 
that a Navi has to be shalem b'gufu, if Moshe had a phsyical defect he 
should have been unable to become a Navi at all."

I had always read Rambam as saying that a navi needs moral and 
spiritual perfection. Did Rambam actually say that a navi cannot have a 
physical defect?
