Context of Exodus 6:29
27Moses and Aaron were the men who spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. They told him that the Israelites would leave Egypt. They were the same Moses and Aaron as we read about in the list of Israelite families. 28When the Lord spoke to Moses in the country of Egypt, he said, ‘I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything that I say to you.’ 30But Moses said, ‘You know that I do not speak well. Pharaoh will not listen to me.’

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 14-3014-15. These be the heads of their fathers' houses--chiefs or governors of their houses.
