Exodus 6:12

"“Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.”"

Key Reflection

This command to Moses and Aaron carries a profound spiritual significance, foreshadowing the ultimate liberation not just from physical slavery but also from sin and bondage. It sets in motion the redemption narrative, highlighting God's sovereignty and His plan to deliver His people through supernatural intervention.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Uncircumcised lips -An uncircumcised ear is one that does not hear clearly; an uncircumcised heart one slow to receive and understand warnings; uncircumcised lips, such as cannot speak fluently. The recurrence of the hesitation of Moses is natural; great as was the former trial this was far more severe; yet his words always imply fear of failure, not of personal danger (seeExodus 3:11).
