8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
8 I will bring you to the land which (N)I (h)swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and (O)I will give it to you for a possession; (P)I am the Lord.’”

12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
12 But Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; (S)how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am (l)(T)unskilled in speech?”
