* am.
The italics shew that this word has been supplied by our
translators; hence it may be inferred by some that Moses was
uncircumcised. 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?"
