Exodus 6
1 God renews his promise by his name JEHOVAH.9 Moses vainly attempts to encourage the Israelites.10 He and Aaron are again sent to Pharaoh.14 The genealogy of Reuben, of Simeon, and of Levi, of whom came Moses and Aaron.26 The history resumed.

Mr. Locke and others read it interrogatively, for the negative particle, {lo,} not, has frequently this power in Hebrew: "I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, and by my name Jehovah was I not also made known unto them?"

Heb. lift up my hand.The ancient mode of appealing to God was by lifting up the right hand, and was considered as a form of swearing. Hence {yamin,} in Hebrew the right hand, is in Arabic an oath, and as a verb, to take an oath. A similar custom prevailed among the heathens. See Virg. Æn. 1. xii. v. 196.

The difficulty is in some measure cleared away, by using the word uncircumcised in the sense of unsuitable or incapacitated, see ver. 30, which agrees with ch. 4:10 where Moses complains of want of eloquence; but by substituting is for am in this place, the connection with the former part of the verse is preserved; "For if the chosen seed, the circumcised sons of Jacob, refuse to hear me," as though Moses had said, "how can I expect to make uncircumcised Pharaoh pay attention to me?" 30; 4:10; Le 26:41; De 30:6; Isa 6:5; Jer 1:6; 6:10; 9:26; Ac 7:51 Nu 27:19,23; De 31:14; Ps 91:11; Mt 4:6; 1Ti 1:18; 5:21; 6:13,172Ti 2:4; 4:1 the heads.25; Jos 14:1; 19:51; 1Ch 5:24; 7:2,7; 8:6The sons.Ge 46:9; 49:3,4; Nu 26:5,6; 1Ch 5:3these be.Nu 26:7; Jos 13:15,23 sons.Ge 46:10; Nu 26:12,13; 1Ch 4:24Nemuel.
