Exodus 6:30
"And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Moses said before the Lord, behold, I am of uncircumcised lips,.... As he had done, Exo 6:13 , and this is only a repetition of what is there said,

in order to lead on to what is related in the following chapter: how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? so mean a person, and so poor a speaker, and he a mighty king, surrounded with wise counsellors and eloquent orators.
