John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And Moses said before the Lord, behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, etc.] As he had done, (<020613>Exodus 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.”
