sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Uncircumcised of lips" is a phrase Moses uses about himself, meaning he is not a good speaker. Interpretation: Moses says he is "uncircumcised of lips" to explain why Pharaoh would not listen to him. The tradition reads it as a sign of his modesty and that God's words came through him anyway.

examples

• Another association between language, mouth, and genitals, though the connection (if any) with the SY is unclear, is found in the idiom עָרְלַת שְׂפָתַיִם ʽorlat sefatayim ‘uncircumcised of lips’, probably meaning one who is unskilled in speech, e.g. [Exodus 6:12].
