11“Go, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that will he let Bnei-Yisrael go out of his land.” 12But Moses said to Adonai, “Bnei-Yisrael have not listened to me. So how would Pharaoh listen to me—I, who have uncircumcised lips?” Then Adonai spoke to Moses and to Aaron and gave to them a charge for Bnei-Yisrael and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring Bnei-Yisrael out of the land of Egypt. 14These are the heads of their father’s houses.
