Exodus 3:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹Now behold, the cry of the Israelites has come to Me, and I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them.

¹⁰Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.

¹¹And Moses said to God, ^[a]Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?

Exodus 3:11 “There was something more than humility here; there was a tone of self-depreciation which was inconsistent with a true faith in God’s selection and appointment. Surely it is God’s business to choose His special instruments; and when we are persuaded that we are in the line of His purpose, we have no right to question the wisdom of His appointment. To do so is to depreciate His wisdom or to doubt His power and willingness to become all that is necessary to complete our need” (F. B. Meyer, Moses, the Servant of God).
