Exodus 3:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 3:11

9 Now therefore, behold, ^athe cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the ^boppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

10 ^aCome now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

11 But Moses said to God, ^a“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

12 So He said, ^a“I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a ^bsign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”

14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ^a‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
