NETBible

For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech 1  and difficult language, 2  but 3  to the house of Israel –

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “deep of lip” (in the sense of incomprehensible).

2 tn Heb “heavy of tongue.” Similar language occurs in Exod 4:10; Isa 33:19.

3 tn The conjunction “but” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied from the context.
