Pharaoh king of Egypt • The directive targets the highest earthly authority, underscoring that God rules over rulers (Exodus 3:19; Proverbs 21:1). • Approaching Pharaoh demonstrates that no human power is beyond God’s reach (Psalm 2:1–4; Romans 13:1). • Moses confronts tyranny on God’s terms, reminding us that courage is born from divine commission, not human confidence (Joshua 1:9). to let the Israelites • God’s focus is His covenant people, whom He calls “My firstborn son” (Exodus 4:22–23). • Liberation is tied to identity; Israel’s freedom testifies to God’s faithfulness to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Genesis 15:13–14; 1 Peter 2:9). • Salvation is both personal and corporate—each Israelite matters, yet they are delivered together (Acts 7:34). go out of his land • The exodus is literal: a physical departure from Egypt’s bondage (Exodus 12:40–41). • It also foreshadows spiritual deliverance, calling believers to leave sin’s domination (2 Corinthians 6:17; Galatians 5:1). • God defines the exit route and destination, proving He not only rescues but also leads (Exodus 13:21–22; Psalm 23:3). summary Exodus 6:11 captures a divine mandate in five short movements: go, speak, confront authority, champion God’s people, and secure their release. Every phrase reinforces God’s sovereignty, His faithfulness to His covenant, and the call for obedient proclamation. Moses’ commission models how we trust Scripture’s precise commands and rely on God to accomplish what He declares. |
